Port 8082 not available

Question

I installed a Jenkins server on port 8080. Then I installed GitBlit, which usually takes port 8080 too, so that I changed to port 8082.

On the machine I can call localhost:8082, but from remote 192.168.178.3:8082 is not available. Jenkins response works on 192.168.178.3:8080

I opened the port on the hardware firewall. Still no response.

The last thing I could image is the Windows firewall, but even after opening the port for TCP for in and out its not working? Or where do you think the problem is?

Answer 1

If you are using Gitblit GO, the default config for Gitblit GO will bind to localhost and will be unreachable from another machine. Check out server.httpBindInterface and server.httpsBindInterface.

Answer 2

Perhaps you need to do any port forwarding on your hardware firewall?

If you suspect Windows, you can add your program/service to the exception list in you Win Firewall settings. You can make this by going to:

START->Control Panel->Windows Firewall->Windows Firewall with Advanced Security

and modify Inbound and Outbound rules.
