Can someone let me know how to setup my Trac appliance on my dedicated Windows 2003 server provided by a hosting services on the internet?
These are what I have already done:
1. Install VM Ware Server on the dedicated server running Windows 2003
2. Downloaded and unzipped the Trac Appliance
3. Started the Trac in the VM Ware Server
4. I have two static IP's assigned to my dedicated server but not sure how to configure so has to use a static IP address.
I have the following questions:
a. How do I configure Trac so that I can get to it remotely on the internet?
b. How can I change the default Trac port to something else like port 8888?
c. Should the VM Ware Server be set to Bridge or NAT?
How Do I Set Up Trac JumpBox Appliance On My Dedicated Server On
Well, the original configuration file was set to be bridged. You should be using that original configuration file. If you have two static IPs for your server, then one should be used by the server and the other can be manually assigned to the JumpBox (you will have to remove this IP from the host if it is configured to use it on your JumpBox).
Boot up your JumpBox on the server, then on the console, Click Enter to begin editing "Advanced Settings". Assuming you have a 1.1+ JumpBox choose "StaticIP" then provide IP Address, Netmask, Default Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS(optional). All of these can probably be gotten from the host, if not, then from your hosting provider.
Once the JumpBox has an IP address, it should be a simple matter of pointing your browser to that IP address (you may have to put in https://IPADDRESS:3000/ if the initial redirect doesn't work for you).
This can go wrong in a few ways ... you have to make sure the host isn't using the IP. A firewall on the host could cause issues, I am not sure. I would try what I said above and if you are not able to access port 80 on the JumpBox then worry about a firewall.
