Hi Jarko,
I found myself in the same boat, then the getting started guide (
though it is for 3.x version, but still it provides many usefull
pointers) came to rescue:
https://openacs.org/doc/openacs/getting-started/
Also, searching the forum will result in some good gems, but this
'knowledge mining' could be quite tedious. I am trying to prepare a
collection of bookmarks - if you find certain threads in forums
especially helpfull for getting started, please let me know. We can
use OACS bookmarks package to maintain a page with links to
documentation, articles, demo. sites and forum threads relevant to
quick start.
About the first question, when I got that problem, I suspected
firewall configuration could be the cause. But it turned out simply
that I had to change the following line in AOLServer config file to
point to my ip address. Placing correct ip address made the server
accessible from outside using the ip address.
set address <ip address>
