Port 8080

[lionheart]

guys,

i've problem with my customers.

one of my customers want to access the cp from his office, but there is a firewall which is block the port 8080 so he can't access the cp.

this is his company policy to block port 8080.

is there anyway to access the cp??

Only way is to have them unblock 8080..

is there any particular reason, why is hsphere use port 8080?

Can the admin panel be accessed via 8080? I swear I could on the Morpheus Plan but when I cancelled (to change co. name and plan) and signed up for NEO, I can't access admin via 8080. If it's possible, what URL would I use?

Nevermind. Just figured it out, LOL: http://cp.hsphere.cc:8080/. It seems that everytime I finally post a question on the forum, I figure it out or am given the answer 2 seconds later. Maybe I should post a question asking where to find a billion dollars.

Mmmmmmmmmm, maybe I should try that one, wanna split it?

Hi,
I am suffering the same problem. Most of my customers can't access their CP because port 8080 is blocked. Anything new about this case?

I found that the demo CP @ psoft.net does'n use the port 8080

Forgive me. I feel for your situation. However, you can't change the CP port everytime another company has a new policy. They could block anyport, anytime. If you set it up for SSL you should be able to use :8443 port.

Maybe they need a new system admininstrator... there's no reason to block traffic on 8080. 8080 is a commonly used alternative to port 80. If they think this is somehow protecting them, they are misguided.

Agreed...or it is a default setting (from something) they haven't changed.
Bottom line is there are some things you can't change and may not be able to work around.
