Not able to run my application from other client system in the network...

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have deployed the application in the netweaver server running in my system. I can access it in my local machine in any of the URL as we know,

<b>http://localhost:50000/Sample</b> OR

<b>http://192,168.1.18:50000/Sample</b>

But when i try to access my application from a browser of any other system in the network with the address "<b>http://192,168.1.18:50000/Sample</b>", I am not able to get the deployed application in my system. "<b>page cannot be displayed</b>" error is showing.

Can any body tell me what could be the reason and how it can be solved?

I am using <b>SAP Netwerver Developer studio slim edition</b> trial version

Hi Sudheesh,

If you are accessing a Sample application, you can still use IP of your server machine.

If you can access a JBoss application and not NetWeaver on port 50000, the following may be some of the reasons

1. Your windows firewall may be blocking port 50000 from outside access (If you are using Windows XP SP2, it's the most possible cause I've seen)

2. Your NetWeaver server may not be running on port 50000

Check your server is running on port 50000, use 'netstat -an' and see 50000 is listening, if so, check your firewall config and allow port 50000 (or temporarily disable your firewall and try to access)

Hello sir,

Thank you for your response. I tried by disabling the firewall of the windows XP and checked in the system. Now it is working fine

Once again thankyou very much for all of your help...

With best regards,

Hi,

You must be having a domain name for the server in the network in which the Portal is running.

(The Name by which the box on which the Portal is intstalled)

This Information should be available to the network team that is responsible for maintaining the systems in the network.

If the server is exposed to the external world then it should be having a Full qualified domain name (which has been obtained after registering the domain).

The below link is a good starting point in undertsanding how to obtain domain names for internet access.

If within the Lan,you have not configured a name for the System(which can be used in place of the ipaddress),

you will have to contact your network team.

Hi,

The problem occurs because of the syntax of the url.The url is not recommended to be based on ip address.In that case there are display problems,such as the one you have encountered. I have seen an sap note on this ,but I am unable to locate it.

So use the dns name for the portal server.

For example:

http://testportal.xyz.pqr:50000/.

I have encountered such problems and I have been able to resolve it this way.

Hello sirs,

Thankyou for your information. if specifying IP in the URL is the problem, then how can we configure a dsn in the server for temp purpose?

Sir, any options are available? I want to test it with in LAN itself...

Hi,

First of all there is a typo in your url (192,168 should be 192.168).

If you cannot reach the machine then the other machines are not on the same network. Know that 192.168.X.X networks are not in the public range so they cannot be addressed if they are not in the same (physical) network.

You can use low level (windows command prompt or unix) commands like ping, tracert and ipconfig to determine IP addresses and connection status.

Good luck,

Hello Roelof,

I have tried to find the status of my system from one of the client system in the LAN <b>using ping. and i am getting the response.</b>But the problem occuring only when accessing the application from browser. I am sure i have typed the IP correctly.

<b>I checked by running JBOSS Server in my machine and able to acess it in the client machine</b>

So I think the problem might be with Netweaver Server...

Kindly share your knowledge regarding this.

Hi,

Just asked my colleague.

Harish is right. Domain names are required, working with IP addresses will sooner or later cause problems, e.g. for logging in it is required to work with (internet) domain names.

Good luck,

Roelof
