Re: RWW missing from CEICW

Thanks, Marina, but it _was_ there originally. Mind you, I didn't install
this system myself, but the people who did, a) probably lacked the know-how
to tweak the ICW, and b) wouldn't have had any reason I can think of to add
RWW manually.

The very first time I looked into opening up RWW a couple of weeks ago, it
was on the Services Configuration screen, and I selected it there. It also
showed up on the next screen, Web Services, as you say. I've been through
the firewall part of the wizard several times since, and RWW was always on
the Services Configuration screen--until the day I edited it to change the
port. I edited it from Services, and it promptly vanished.

I've since tried to add it back in using the Add button on Services, and I
get the message, "Cannot create a file when that file already exists." which
tells me nothing at all.

As I mentioned, my edit on the Services screen _did_ change the RWW port; I
know because I left 4125 blocked on our router, only opening 443 and the new
port, and I was still able to start an RWW session from outside.

(BTW, the ICW is _always_ opening HTTP port 80 now, even though I'm not
requesting it. I don't believe it did that at first.)

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jay
