Re: connection to WebDB site from a LAN client

Craig:

You sure about that? I'm must insist that you're wrong. The WebDB listener picks up requests at

http://host.domain:port/DAD

where DAD is the database access descriptor. The default DAD is webdb. The webdb listener listens on the port that you specify, and connects to the database using the DAD you specify.

e.g., www.rtfm.com:81/WebDB

Francesco, I believe your problem lies elsewhere.

You're both free to dispute this, but you'll have to put include a reference to the manual.
