Launching Web App from externally...HELP!!

hi everyone,

I am using the application server 8.2 that is bundled with JSC2. I was wondering if there was a tutorial anywhere, or if someone can describe a procedure, for giving access to a web application from outside ther server's network.

Currently, our app server is running on Windows Server 2003 Web Edition. We have routers and firewalls that have configured to allow access to the certain ports on the server.

How do i tell the server to redirect requests to my application's home page when accesses across the internet. Right now, the only way i know how to access the application is either using http://localhost ... or the server's IP address. this only allows access from the server itself or from a PC on the same network as ther server.

I have other similar posts as this in this section and the seciton for JSC2. they have gone unanswered.

thank you all!

Your problem has nothing to do with appserver itself. You should contact your network administrator - he/she should make sure your appserver host is properly accessible from the Internet. You could start by checking if your appserver host is added to the local DNS server.

So what you're saying is that when the network admins allow external access to server by congifuring the routers and firewalls, i should be able to access the application using the static IP address with the app's name? there would be nothing to configure in app server 8.2?

many thanks!!

Correct. Appserver host should have a static IP address, be registered in DNS and proper access from the Internet should be provided by network admins.
