Hi,

I have installed SmartFox on MAC OS X server and our demo application works fine when run internally.

To test the external address, I change the IP address in the server and client config.xml to our external address. Every time that I try to connect I get this error:

Can't connect to host

http://<OUR_EXTERNAL_IP>:8080/BlueBox/HttpBox.do



I also placed a crossdomain.xml at the root of our server as:



I read the documents and two threads but I cannot fix the problem.

Any help will be greatly appreciated,
Thanks.

To test the external address, I change the IP address in the server and client config.xml to our external address. Every time that I try to connect I get this error:

Sounds like this is the problem, unless your internal machine is directly connected to the internet. Are you sure you are not behind a router? If so you will have to properly configure the NAT before your machine is exposed to the web.

Hi Lapo,

After I had sent the message, I fixed the problem by resetting the server-side config.xml to localhost (127.0.0.1) and point the client-side IP to the external address.

In addition, on the client-side, I set these values to:

blueBoxIpAddress == <OUR_EXTERNAL_ADDRESS>
blueBoxPort == 8080
httpPort == 8080

I don't know if this is the right setting! The application seems to work but occasionally, we seem to have connection problems.

I will precise that problem later, but first, I'd like to know if these settings are correct.

Thanks a lot.

Settings seem correct.
Can you provide more details about the connection problem?

Hi Lapo,

We noticed the problem in the Activity Monitor of Safsari.

When we connect to the server the first time, in the Activity monitor, we see several HTTP requests as:

http://<EXTERNAL_ADDRESS>:8080/BlueBox/HttpBox.do

We get the nitification that we are logged. After this point, everything seems to be OK until we get this error shown in the Activity Monitor:


Operation could not be completed (WebKitErrorDomain)

and you still have a few other

http://<EXTERNAL_ADDRESS>:8080/BlueBox/HttpBox.do


I know that we are no longer connected because you cannot send/receive messages. The client UI works naturally.

I don't know if this is enough as information.

By the way, we have demo PRO license (20 connections) on our server.

I have questions regarding sockets but I will start another Thread.

Thanks.
