Hello. I just installed AOLServer, and I quickly ran into a problem that I can't figure out. (I did search archives, but I couldn't find reference to this problem.)
I created a user, "aolserver", and I perform the following command as root to test: # cd /usr/local/aolserver # bin/nsd -f -u aolserver -g aolserver -t sample-config.tcl (I have tried leaving port 8000 as default, and I have also tried with port 8080.) To test, with lynx on the local machine I'm able to go to http://127.0.0.1:8000, and I see the default page. Then remotely I go to http://www.mydomain.com:8000, and I get a connection refused. I also tried telneting there and was also refused. My firewall settings on the box allow traffic on port 8000 (and incidentally I also tested on 8080, which I'm absolutely certain allows traffic since that's what I normally run Tomcat on.) I haven't even attempted to fully understand the config file yet, but it is my expectation that I shouldn't have to modify the file to fix this problem. So to summarize, AOLServer allows local traffic to port 8000, but specifically disallows remote traffic to port 8000. I welcome any suggestions. Michael
