**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jul 04 02:59:58 2012 Jul 04 20:01:44 oh Jul 04 20:01:56 I don't suppose anyone could help a newbie? Jul 04 20:02:11 someone probably can Jul 04 20:02:42 I was apparently playing around with this SheevaPlug at some point, and I don't remember what all I did Jul 04 20:02:49 but I somehow managed to remember my password, at least Jul 04 20:03:02 and now I'm trying to set up a web server with it Jul 04 20:03:24 I've got it set up, but I don't know how to make it accessible outside the network Jul 04 20:06:19 well, how is it connected? Jul 04 20:06:26 and it's really not a sheevaplug question, is it :) Jul 04 20:06:28 it's connected via an ethernet cable to a router Jul 04 20:06:33 yeah, I suppose not Jul 04 20:06:44 well, make the router forward traffic on port 80 to your sheevaplug Jul 04 20:06:52 having a static lan IP helps Jul 04 20:06:56 okay... Jul 04 20:06:57 hm. Jul 04 20:07:06 and then it's a question related to your distro :) Jul 04 20:07:09 is it ubuntu? Jul 04 20:07:12 yes Jul 04 20:07:52 so let me see if I understand this right Jul 04 20:08:00 http://fpaste.org/p2h2/ this is my /etc/network/interfaces Jul 04 20:08:10 staticly configured Jul 04 20:08:28 so if I set it to forward on port 80 Jul 04 20:08:42 then it is accessible as (network IP):80 ? Jul 04 20:09:54 yep, that's the idea Jul 04 20:10:08 hm Jul 04 20:10:54 should the plug give its address as something other than 127.0.0.1? Jul 04 20:11:25 apparently it is set up as dhcp Jul 04 20:13:58 usually it's the router that gives it an IP Jul 04 20:14:55 right Jul 04 20:16:05 I think I am making things worse Jul 04 20:16:17 now I can't even access the index page in the network Jul 04 20:16:42 well, to run a server of something you should at least know some basics of networking Jul 04 20:39:27 well, before I could access it on the network but not online Jul 04 20:39:36 and now I can't even access it on the network Jul 04 20:39:42 I think I am terrible at this Jul 04 21:02:22 haha Jul 04 21:02:28 maybe a sheevaplug isn't the best way to learn Jul 04 21:02:43 considering it's a headless system Jul 04 21:03:35 I've played around with linux distros in VirtualBox before Jul 04 21:04:07 I think it probably isn't helping that I'm coming back to a setup that I had messed around with too long ago to remember Jul 04 21:04:10 maybe I need to start fresh Jul 04 21:05:45 I think I'll call it quits for now - thanks for the help **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jul 05 02:59:58 2012
