Changing the Oracle Application Server to use a Public IP

Well Known Member
I have installed the Oracle Application Server and able to access the E1 application with the URL http://servername:port/jde/owhtml. There is a need to have the access to the E1 application from a public IP address. I have changed the http.conf file replacing the servername with the public IP address. When I enter the URL: http://ip address:port/jde/owhtml I just receive a blank page. I have had the public IP url operational using WebSphere and IIS so I know it is not a problem with the public IP.
Does anyone know what chnages have to be made to allow access from the public IP?
 
When you install the Oracle App Server it takes the server name and puts
it in quite a few places (config files), especially if you are using
Enterprise Manager to manage the server. It is not an easy task to just
rename an install of OAS and have everything recognize it. It is always
better practice to have servers behind firewalls or some form of
separation and to route requests, mapping external IPs to internal IPs
or server names. If there is a possibility of mapping the external to
internal name that will be your quickest solution.

Re: RE: Changing the Oracle Application Server to use a Public IP

The server is sitting behind the firewall of a hosting site. They have created a NAT in their router to NAT the public IP address to the internal IP address. I am able to access the HTML client from inside the firewall using the name but cannot access from outside the firewall using the public IP address. I have changed the http.conf to reflect the internal IP address of the server. I know the NAT is setup correctly as this was functional using IIS and WebSphere.

Has anyone ever configured something like this before?

I made it something like that using Web Cache. I configured web cache :
1) created one site for example pippo.com listening on port 81
2) created one site mapping from pippo.com:81 to my EnterpriseOne application (for example jasserver:82)

then I modified httpd.conf for EnterpriseOne application (jasserver:82) virtual host like here:

NameVirtualHost jasserver:82
<VirtualHost jasserver:82>
Oc4jMount /jde JasOC4JPD
Oc4jMount /jde/* JasOC4JPD
ServerName pippo.com
Port 81
</VirtualHost>

good luck
