I first installed HIPPO CMS (awesome) everything works fine in localhost.
I then go into HIPPO-essential -> Tool -> Rest Service Setup -> generate a generic REST
Then I wish to open my firewall and route an external IP to my machine.
Assuming IP is 155.111.222.133
When I do http://localhost:8080/cms it works fine
When I do http://155.111.222.133:8080/cms it works fine
When I do http://localhost:8080/site/api/documents/ it works fine
When I do http://155.111.222.133:8080/site/api/documents/ it did not work.
I get this message
Welcome to Hippo
It appears that you just created an empty Hippo project from the archetype. There is nothing to show on the site yet. We recommend you use Hippo’s setup application to start developing your project.
So I went to the HIPPO Console
I see the following the /hst:hst/hst:hosts/dev-localhost/localhost/hst:root/api
Normally what I do is I make it work is:
I made a copy of the dev-localhost node and call it dev-155.111.222.133
In properties node change the hst:cmslocation and also
I rename the node name from localhost to 155.111.222.133.
Now it will work when I access http://155.111.222.133:8080/site/api/documents/
But I don’t think this is the correct way.
I am making a copy of localhost and all changes to localhost needs to be copied again to the new 155.111.222.133 node.
Is there anything I can do to redirect the traffic from 155.111.222.133 into localhost?
