Re: companyweb from RWW



This is a very interesting thread. I recently starting the same issue
accessing the companyweb url from internal. If the server is rebooted this
url works for 15mins, than page can not display error. Although, the site is
accessible through servername.domain. This site is on port 80. The last
change that was made was reapply Report services SP2. The fact that work for
a few minutes than stops tells me it'a timing issue, just not sure where to
check.

I'm having a little bit of trouble with terminology here. "Internal website"
means companyweb the way I'm using it. Let me review terminology.

->companyweb is reached by browsing to http://companyweb from a client PC on
the LAN
->"Welcome to Windows" page (WTW) is reached by browsing to
http://server.domain.com from a client PC on the LAN
->The WTW default page has 4 links one of which points to the companyweb
with the URL http://companyweb.
->I have modified the WTW default page so that the link which points to the
companyweb points to the URL https://server.domain.com:444. This is so that
external users can reach the companyweb from the WTW page using this link.

I checked IIS and found the following websites on the SERVER:
Description, ID, State, Host Header Value, IP Address, Port, SSL Port, Status
server.domain.com, 1, running, " ", *All Unassigned*, 80, 443, " "
MS SharePoint Admin, 2, running, " ", 192.168.1.107, 6358," "," "
SharePoint Central Admin, 3, running, " ", 192.168.1.107, 8081," "," "
companyweb, 4, running, companyweb, 192.168.1.107, 80, 444, " "

server.domain.com is my registered public domain name with static IP address
provided by my ISP. I can successfully browse to the WTW web page from the
Internet and from a client PC on the LAN. My problem is I can't reach the
internal companyweb using the URL https://server.domain.com:444.

Thanks again, Les.

When I ping 'companyweb' from a client PC on the LAN I get 192.168.1.107
which is the IP address of the server.

This is the correct response.


When I browse to http://companyweb from a client PC on the LAN I get the
internal website.

What is the 'internal website"? Is that something you added?, or do you mean
Companyweb, or do you mean the Welcome to Windows (default internal
website?).


When I run the command "telnet SERVER 444" from a client PC on the LAN I
get
a blinking cursor.

That's a correct response.


When I browse to http://server.domain.com from a client PC on the LAN I
get
the "Welcome to Windows Small Business Server 2003" webpage with four
links,
"My Company's Internal Web Site", "Network Configuration Wizard", "Remote
Web
Workplace", "Information and Answers".

Is you internal domain name domain.com - is that the same as your public
domain? This site is the default web site. http://servername should bring
this up.


When I then click on the link "My Company's Internal Web Site" from a
client
PC on the LAN it tries to load "https://server.domain.com:444"; but I get a
page that says "The page cannot be displayed - The page you are looking
for
is currently unavailable..."

From the default web site, the url for My Company's Internal Web Site (which
is companyweb) should just be http://companyweb. Have you modified this?


If you go into IIS and click on web sites - can you list what you see in the
right pane? Name of site - host header values (if any) - and ports?

When on the lan, server.domain.com isn't going to work.

What do you get when you 'ping companyweb' from the server, or from a
workstation on the lan? - ip of SBS should be the result
What do you get when you run http://companyweb from the server, or from a
workstation on the lan? - you should get companyweb site
What do you get when you telnet <servername> 444 from the server or a
workstation? - you should get a blinking cursor

If any of the above don't work, then there is a misconfiguration.

The above won't explain why external access doesn't work, but first you
need
to know it works internally.

The configuration is as follows:
-single nic on server
-router with firewall
-Broadband internet connection (2 way satellite, Direcway)

I tried this at the command line at a client PC:

telnet server.domain.com 444

and I got this:

Connecting to server.domain.com...Could not open connection to the
host,
on
port 444: Connect failed

I browsed to my router at 192.168.1.1 and checked the firewall to be
sure
it
is allowing connection to port 444 and the firewall rules table
included
the
following entry:

Allow HTTPS source:WAN,* destination:LAN, 192.168.1.107
protocol:
*,444

I did an "ipconfig /all" at the server and got the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ipconfig /all

The web page link has nothing to do with it.

From the internet, https://fqdn:444 will go to companyweb providing a)
port
444 is open (you can telnet fqdn 444 and see) and b) you elected to
make
the
site available in CEICW, and c) fqdn resolves to your public IP, and
e)
you're correctly forwarded 444 from the public interface to your SBS
external nic IP (if two NICS), or SBS nic (if one nic).

What's the network topology - number of nics, external device (router,
firewall, broadband device - etc.). Perhaps an ipconfig/all run from
the
server would be of use.

Sorry, I have the "s" in the web page link. I just didn't have it
in
the
forum message. Still doesn't work. Any other ideas? Perhaps a
corrupted
file somewhere?

Thanks again for your assistance. Here's what I have so far.
1) I can reach the companyweb from a client PC
(http://companyweb/default.aspx).
2) I can also reach http://server.domain.com from a client PC.
This
takes
me to a page with 4 links - "My Company's Internal Web Site",
"Network
Configuration","Remote Web Workplace","Information and Answers"
3) I can also reach http://server.domain.com from outside of my
LAN.
4) I modified the default page to change the link "My Company's
Internal
Web
Site" from http://companyweb/default.aspx to
http://server.domain.com:444
so
that outside users could reach the internal companyweb using this
link.
5) When I use this link or type http://server.domain.com:444
directly
into
the browser I get "Page Cannot Be Found".
6) I have double checked my router firewall to ensure that port
444
is
open
and it is.
7) I have also double checked CEICW and created the certificate
(for
server.domain.com) and also made sure that Sharepoint services
was
checked.

OK Back to Basics,

First From outside does server.domain.com Resolve to your
external
IP?
IF not create a subdomain and have it pointed to that IP.

Next

Ok your statement of Modified the RWW page to Point to
https://server.domain.com:444/
Makes me wonder what was done?
