Re: Problems with Roxen 4.0.425 Ian Bonnycastle <ibonny[at]gmail[dot]com> 28-02-2006
Hmm.. I'm having the same problem again.. when I upgraded Roxen on my home
system, I had to reinstall it, as it wouldn't start properly. So I did, and
remade all the website configurations as well.

Now, even though I give it an IP address to bind to, it STILL binds to the
"*:80" http port. For example:

  *URLs*     ftpftpshilfehttphttpstetris://:/
IP#: Bind this port: YesNo      Bind to these URLs. You can use '*' and '?'
to perform globbing (using any of these will default to binding to all
IP-numbers on your machine). If you specify a IP# in the field it will take
precedence over the hostname.

  *http://*:80/*  Shared with
landvale.com<http://larimar:26995/sites/site.html/landvale.com/>.


Ok, so this doesn't show up well, (maybe not at all to some people), but its
a cut-and-paste directly from the configuration web page. Anyone know whats
going on here? I've tried clearing the browser cache, reloading Roxen...
everything.
