Website not loading
« on: March 17, 2015, 09:44:31 PM »
Hi Guys,

I have a web-server (website) accessible without any problems when running from a workstation.
However, when running the web-server on a Windows 2003 server, it runs, but is inaccessible from the server itself 127.0.0.1 (local) or the network.

I checked the firewall, opened ports, antivirus, etc.  Can't get access to the website when running from the server.

The site is running SSL, and I enabled the NetTalk extension option to show error messages.  The web-server is running without error messages.

Any ideas?

two questions

does your browser show anything (error maybe) when you ask for 127.0.0.1

are you running on port 80  - ie is the NT8 server on the 2003 server running on the same port as your browser?

try running on the web server with ssl switched off. if it works, check you have the 4 ssl dll files and check their dates. Failing that make sure you connect using https.

Hi Rupert,

>> I have a web-server (website) accessible without any problems when running from a workstation.

I assume you deployed all the exe's, DLLs, certificate folder and web folder to the server right?
You might also want/need to run the MS VC++ Redistributable on the server;

>> However, when running the web-server on a Windows 2003 server, it runs, but is inaccessible from the server itself 127.0.0.1 (local) or the network.

Firewalls are the obvious probability, but some other app running on port 443 is also a possibility. Try testing that theory by running the web server on another port.

and of course the URL in the browser should be https://127.0.0.1:nnn not http://127.0.0.1:nnn

cheers
