OWA on a different port - Exchange 2003 standard
Hi Guys,
I am trying to setup OWA on port 8080.
It works internally but not externally.
I have set the default web site to port 8080 and tested internally via http://serverip:8080/exchange and that all works fine. All 8080 traffic is forwarded to the exchange server.
I have opened up port 8080 on our sonicwall 1260 and this is ok ("telnet publicip 8080" - connects and does not report a failure). I have also setup port 8443 for ssl and tested as above.
When I try to connect, I get page cannot be displayed.
Any ideas? What have I missed?
Thanks

I was having a blond moment!!!
Everything I had done was ok but I assumed that just typing the IP/exchange in the address bar would be ok. I eventually noticed that it said "syntax error - microsoft internet explorer" across the top of the window. Put http:// in front of it and it all works fine!!
I guess this is because port 80 auto translates but everything else needs the http:// to tell it what it is.
I have got citrix web interface on port 80.
Cheers

OWA does not like being on any other port than 80/443. I have tried to use other ports with very little success. I would strongly suggest putting it back and you should find that the application works correctly.
