Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: server error in a new install

Well yes the openacs database was there as you mentioned in other thread also to delete I deleted.
Now I did
aptitude purge openacs
but I still see config files in /etc/aolserver4
/etc/init.d/aloserver4
and /etc/default/aolserver just removing these files and installing again will be fine or I need to do
find / -name 'openacs*'
and remove what ever comes
and same with
find / -name 'aolserver4*'

and remove what ever comes

then install.Is this what you mean.

Ok I had done a re install and now this time things really worked smoothly.
I can see http://localhost:8000

Here is now where my doubts begin.
The LAN IP of machine where OpenACS is installed is
192.168.1.5

so I previously to make this accessible to any one on LAN had
done in /etc/aolserver4/conf.d/openacs.sh

changed

AOL_USER=www-data
AOL_GROUP=www-data
AOL_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1
AOL_PORT=8000
RUN_DAEMON=yes

to

AOL_USER=www-data
AOL_GROUP=www-data
AOL_ADDRESS=192.168.1.5
AOL_PORT=8000
RUN_DAEMON=yes

is this right?
and during installation it asked to enter Canonical URL name for server
I have entered there
http://openacs.openitup.in

I dropped the :8000 part.

Is this correct?

Because now I will configure Apache Reverse proxy which is at a machine physically different location than where OpenACS runs.

I think upto here we have been able to correctly bring thing on track.

You can check http://openacs.openitup.in

is accessible on internet.
Now comes the real problem because of which all the hotch potch had happened.
When I login with the account which I had created during installation from internet on

http://openacs.openitup.in

then I see after some time the connection breaks

and I see the URL
http://openacs.openitup.in:8000/

now port 8000 is not opened on the Gateway which faces internet (that is the reason I am using Apache Reverse Proxy)
So how can I avoid when some one logs in to the site this port to come in URL.

No it is http://openacs.openitup.in only.
