Re: Access Error

*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro*
I have the same problem as the original poster, and what bothers me is that
my trial period expires in a few days and there seemt to be no way to fill
in the new serial number that I am about to purchase. (Or can I do that via
ssh?)

I used to be able to connect to the server using Timbuktu, but after
installing iTools the server (server version 10.1.4 and client version
10.1.5) no longer accepts incoming connections from outside our lan. The
server only responds to requests for 127.0.0.1.
I have used iTools to set up Bind and it seems to work ok, but some times
the server does not recognize its own ip-number. Starting server admin gives
me the following address to the server: 0.0.0.0, but after reboot the ip
number 192.168.1.2 is pre written in server admin.

The httpd.conf file contains these lines which seem wrong, aren't they?

 Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, in addition to the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
# 
#Listen 3000
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80

Shouldn't the servers ip-number  be here instead of 12.34.56.78:80?


At the end of the file is this section:

TransferLog     tenon/logs/iTools.log
Listen 80  
#       Tenon iTools directives
Port    80
ServerName      127.0.0.1
<VirtualHost    127.0.0.1:80>
<Directory       /Library/WebServer/WebSites/127.0.0.1>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews IncludesNOEXEC
</Directory>
NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1
ServerAlias     127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.tidningenchef.com 127.0.0.1
192.$
</VirtualHost>

I have tried to add a virtual host for 192.168.1.2 but that did not work so
I added 192.168.1.2 as an alias to 127.0.0.1 but that did not work either.


The error log shows this:

Additonal information:

I have had Webmin installed but have uninstalled it. I also reinstalled
iTools, but that did not help, so I made a complete uninstall using the
uninstall script and then reinstalled from scratch.

I'd really appreciate some explanations here. I am fraid that iTools Bind
configuration stops working when the serial number expires, and then my mail
server no longer works either.

Thanks in advance.
