Re: [cobalt-developers] Help! RAQ4 virtual sites not responding

[Laurence Pearce <laurence@xxxxxxxxx>]

Many thanks for the comments. Fault has corrected itself - seemed to be a
firewall port 80 problem with our hosting company! That seems the only
explanation as to why no virtual sites were responding yet the admin
services were ok. Its too easy to assume that you have broken something when
installing server software.

Anyway, I've learnt a lot more about apache/tomcat/cobalt config and
operation out of the experience. Thanks again guys.
