From the reactions yesterday, it became apparent them many institutions and systems worldwide are blocking port 8080 traffic. For the current Graves project that's not a problem, because it's in early phases and not really "public" yet, but it did surprise me; it's the default port for Tomcat, I think. It's taught me that when we move it to a more stable location, we need to set up an alias in Apache so that all Tomcat and eXist sites are channeled through Apache and so appear to come from port 80.
The "PHP works" page is served by Apache on port 80, so that's not a problem.
Cheers, Martin

I have tried with various browsers, but all naturally in Mac OS X, and from different places, and just cannot get through. I get 'the operation timed out when trying to connect to..' or just 'cannot connect to..' I am trying http://lingo.dcf.uvic.ca:8080/exist/graves/index.xml When I try just http://lingo.dcf.uvic.ca I get the cryptic 'PHP works'. ON the face of it, it looks like something to do with port 8080. And checking, I discover..
- I do not seem able to connect to any sites with 8080
- But can connect to: 8000, 8081, etc
- There is nothing in the settings in this computer which appears to bar
access to any ports 8080. Netstat does not show anything running on a 8080 So very odd indeed Anyone else see this behaviour? Peter
