RE: Make Beagle accesible from everywhere

[j r <muxutzu hotmail com>]

Hi again,

I think I have found the reason because I don't receive anything when I look for some document from another computer. I have tried to do it in the computer hosting beagle server in two ways, first from http://localhost:4000 and then from http://10.5.36.50:4000 (its network IP) and it didn't work with the second URL.

So I thought that the answer could be in the XML with results generated by beagle server and it seems to be the problem. In order to test it I have traced the xmlhttp object in "default.js". I did something like this

function state_change_info ()
{
    if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4) {
        // FIXME: Should also check for status 200
        var res = xmlhttp.responseText;
        alert(res);

I obtained a different answer depending on the URL call, and if I invoke the server from 10.5.36.50:4000 I receive an invalid XML string. For example:

FROM HTTP://10.5.36.50:4000 (Invalid xml string)

391 // This number seems to be a random one

AND FROM HTTP://localhost:4000 (Right XML string)

Then from my point of view WebInterface works typing any URL, but the answer it's not a valid XML string and it cannot be rightly parsed and shown in the Web Client.

Any idea about this strange behaviour? Please, just tell me where to look for the method which generates this XML string and I can check it on my own.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

First of all, thanks for your great work with this application and all your efforts.

I'm trying to make accesible Beagle for everybody in a private network. For my purpose I'm using the Web Interface as I have some computers working with Windows. So my idea is to index a network folder with Beagle installed in an Ubuntu machine and search documents there through this machine using Beagle Web Interface. 

Firstly it was imposible to access to this web interface from another computer, so I thought it was disabled. Fortunately I found the way to avoid it. Just changing this string in Server.cs file

line 833 string host="localhost"; ---> string host="*"

Now I can access, but nothing works, I mean, when I try to look for something it doesn't work from a remote computer, but it does from the computer with Beagle installed. Then I suppose I should change something more in the source code.

Please I would need some clue or track. It may be very useful for somebody else.

Thanks in advance

Miguel Calle
