Re: Problems accessing all areas after change to port 8080



You didn't mention if you were using ISA or not in your post. I would think
if you were that could cause major problems too since ISA proxies through
port 8080.
A standard configuration of SBS (without hosting a web site on it facing the
Internet) will not need port 80 open anyway.

Hi all -- I'm hoping there's a quick place to make this change occur. Let
me
briefly explain the situation. I had DSL Service before with a static IP.
All
was well with my external access for my public website under SBS 2003. I
could access public site on port 80, the sharepoint site internally, OWA
would come in on port 80 and redirect to SSL 443 and OMA worked too. As
one
additional change I made, I located my external facing port 80 website on
a
different drive then made it the "root" of my internet. So all the web
projects for exchange, Sharepoint,etc resided on their default C:\
locations,
and my main site was on the E:\drive. As I said all was well. This week, I
got fiber optic in and they did not allow a static IP. Further, though
they
(verizon) said they dont' block ports, in fact they do block port 80. I
used
a dynamic DNS redirector to capture this fact and redirected my public URL
to
port 8080. Thus, my original name was say www.default.com. This was
redirected to www2.default.com:8080. I registered the MX there as well. I
then went to the main website and changed the port settings in IIS from 80
to
8080. Here's what occured (good and bad)
External site: Up after redirection.
OWA: Won't work on redirection, but does work calling the SSL port
directly
with the redirected SSL, ie https://www2.default.com/exchange
OMA: Will not work, internal or external. Logon page appears, but then an
"server error" non descript message displays
Email/Exchange: Up and running -- no problem Emails send and receive
to/from
the server
VPN to www.default.com or www2.default.com does not work, but direct VPN
to
the IP does. (ie, if I ping the URL, and get a response, and use that IP,
VPN then works -- however it used to work by using www.example.com.
Inernal reports do not work -- this includes what is emailed to me (I get
an
email, but it is blank except for the words Bad request (Invalid
hostname).
It also includes the reports that are "live" that show up in the Server
management console liek the view usage report, etc.
As far as I can tell, right now Sharepoint *appears* to be up -- at least
on
the server. I need to check more into that to see if it is working
entirely
from the clients, both internal and via VPN (I don't have public
sharepoint
access).

So, OK, question is -- what can I do to get SBS working well with the
realization that my external port 80 is blocked by the ISP and I need to
send
web in on a different port (8080)?

I'd be glad for any assist with this.

Thanks in advance. Todd
