USE ORBEON VIA PUBLIC DNS

Question

i configured a public dns through IIS to use ORBEON form loading through external connections. I am using the ajp13 connector. Unfortunately the orbeon module through the external address chosen (http://orbeonmodule.igcom.it/orbeon/fr) keeps telling me "Address not found". Could I get assistance in successfully configuring ORBEON for external connections? As for the local connection it works without problems (localhost:8080/orbeon/fr). The ORBEON module can be used directly by calling the form via the NEW/EDIT options (example: http://orbeonmodule.igcom.it/orbeon/fr/ARMONIA/VF_01/new?idpratica=2637&user=supervisore.s&modello=58a9db826033f7a63714a514fb923a. I look forward to receiving your reply. thanks. Marco

Answer 1

You are saying that:

1. Accessing http://orbeonmodule.igcom.it/orbeon/fr, you get an error "Address not found".
2. However accessing http://orbeonmodule.igcom.it/orbeon/fr/ARMONIA/VF_01/new?idpratica=2637&user=supervisore.s&modello=58a9db826033f7a63714a514fb923a is working for you.

If (2) works, then your DNS must be configured correctly, and Apache is able to forward requests to Tomcat, at least in some cases. As to why it wouldn't work in (1), I'd recommend you investigate where that "Address not found" message comes from:

• Is it an error at the browser level, who is unable to connect to the server? That seems unlikely since (2) works. But if this is the case, you should be able to see it with Chrome Dev Tools (or similar).
• Is it an error at the Apache level? Is it an error at the Tomcat / Orbeon Forms level? If so, you should be able to find more information about the error in the relevant log files.

(And once you find more, feel free to update your question with that information, and post a comment to answer.)
