kJams Server

Just talk about kJams stuff with each other, describe things you did that worked, talk about your setup, anything that doesn't fit into the other forums!

kJams Server

Post by Nick Burrett »

Hello

My kJams server works on my local network, but how can people connect to it from the outside world?

It didn't work on port 80 (say's it was in use), but it's up and running on port 8080.

Thanks
Nick

your port 80 should NOT be in use unless you are personally running a web server on it. if it's in use, and you don't KNOW about that, then you have some virus or something, and that's bad.

sorry but i can't help you get your kJams on your LAN to be visible to the outside world. if you don't know how to do that it's probably not something you want to get into. not to mention it's most likely against your terms of service for your ISP, unless you have business class, which if you DO, you already know how to do it?

perhaps enlist a tech guru friend to help you set that up?

Hi

When is this coming:
If you're hyper savvy
You can put this on a *public* IP address under some domain, and use port 80 (provided there's no other web server on that address). that way people can *from home* enter something like:
https://karaoke.kjams.com:12345/
and then set up their tonight list, before they even get to the venue! isn't that spiffy? We will, at some point, have a checklist for how to set this up, including some thoughts on security.
Thanks
Nick

If you're running Mac OS X, you can use the lsof command to see which processes are listening on port 80.

Code: Select all

$ sudo lsof -nP | grep LISTEN | grep :80
httpd        77            root    4u     IPv6 0x1952c001de81adb7        0t0      TCP *:80 (LISTEN)
httpd       194            _www    4u     IPv6 0x1952c001de81adb7        0t0      TCP *:80 (LISTEN)
httpd       453            _www    4u     IPv6 0x1952c001de81adb7        0t0      TCP *:80 (LISTEN)
httpd     56465            _www    4u     IPv6 0x1952c001de81adb7        0t0      TCP *:80 (LISTEN)
httpd     57327            _www    4u     IPv6 0x1952c001de81adb7        0t0      TCP *:80 (LISTEN)
httpd     57328            _www    4u     IPv6 0x1952c001de81adb7        0t0      TCP *:80 (LISTEN)
httpd     57329            _www    4u     IPv6 0x1952c001de81adb7        0t0      TCP *:80 (LISTEN)

it's already there. but you have to be "hyper savvy". if you don't know how to do it, then you're not "hyper savvy". Sorry, that's not something i can teach you how to do.

To be visible to the outside word, you can try calling your ISP and talking them into giving you a static IP address. Alternatively, you can use one of the various dynamic to static IP services out there on the web.
There are other ways, but they involve technical savvy, and are of minimal benefit to work ratio.
