RE: Orion on Linux, Follow-up Question
See http://kb.atlassian.com/content/orionsupport/articles/unixprocess.html That describes how to run on Linux as a non-root user, how to set up your groups for development, and how to setup IPChains so that to the external world you're still using port 80! Hope it helps - please add an annotation if you see any problems or shortcomings with the doc.

Re: Orion on Linux, Follow-up Question
I think this is because your user account is unable to run the server on reserved port 80. Modify Orion's default-website.xml file to use a port above the reserved range, (1000 or something like that). I use 8000. wcn Jimbo Jones wrote: > My previous problem, starting Orion on linux, was due to the fact that > I was calling upon the wrong JVM (even though I thought I had my path > set correctly).

RE: Orion on Linux, Follow-up Question
I've been to orionsupport, and actually their "ipchains" information is outdated. I used this to reroute packets from port 80 to 10080: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 10080 I am pretty sure this is working, because I am having Orion listen on port 10080, but I am not specifying that port in the browser--and it is working from the linux machine, and also another machine on my network. Some more information: I am on DSL right now, with a router configured so that my linux box is a DMZ. From another machine in my network, I can put in the outside IP address and Orion works. From anywhere else (outside my network) I cannot connect, although curiously enough, I can get 404 and 400 errors--it will not load pages, however. I wonder if this is a problem with my iptables? I know basically nothing about iptables, but I see that in my filter table the following rules are there: Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target - prot --- opt --- source - destination DROP all ... -- [my outside ip] .. 0.0.0.0/0 There are actually a couple lines, with some of my recent IP addresses (they are dynamic). I have no idea what this means, but I wonder if iptables is only providing my local IPs with access. possibly? I'm really at a loss here, as I don't know linux very well. Any insight would be appreciated. >From: Montebove Luciano <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: Orion-Interest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: Orion-Interest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: Orion on Linux, Follow-up Question >Date: Thu, 11 Oct 2001 16:41:43 +0200 > >Hi Jimbo, > >You can find some responses here >http://www.orionsupport.com/articles/unixprocess.html > >Luciano > >-Original Message- >From: Jimbo Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: giovedì 11 ottobre 2001 15.34 >To: Orion-Interest >Subject: Orion on Linux, Follow-up Question > > >My previous problem, starting Orion on linux, was due to the fact that I >was > >calling upon the wrong JVM (even though I thought I had my path set >correctly).

RE: Orion on Linux, Follow-up Question
Hi Jimbo, You can find some responses here http://www.orionsupport.com/articles/unixprocess.html Luciano -Original Message- From: Jimbo Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: giovedì 11 ottobre 2001 15.34 To: Orion-Interest Subject: Orion on Linux, Follow-up Question My previous problem, starting Orion on linux, was due to the fact that I was calling upon the wrong JVM (even though I thought I had my path set correctly). That is resolved. Now I have another problem that seems more linux-related than Orion-related, but perhaps some of you know the solution. I have Orion running on linux, and from that machine I can access Orion-served pages. But I cannot do so from outside that machine. What's more, I am unable to run it on a user account. For now, I'm running under root. But like I said, I cannot connect to it from another machine. Upon doing some investigating, I have discoverd that when I try to connect from another machine, Orion is sending the HTTP headers only and then freezes without sending anything else. The page never loads, it just hangs indefinitely. I strongly suspect this has something to do with linux and not Orion. I cannot run Orion on a user account because it tells me I don't have permission to run an HTTP server. I don't get that message as root, but I wonder if there is some linux mechanism at work blocking my attempts to transmit data via HTTP.
