I have installed and configured neos cms on an ubuntu machine on my network.
The problem is that I cannot access the cms control panel or website from another pc on the network.
The link I should type in the browser is 192.168.1.8:8081 but it gives me an 'Unable to connect' error.
On the other hand I am capable of accessing the apache index.html file.
What could be the problem?

probably your config can you access 192.168.1.8:8081 on the host PC itself? – meccooll Sep 28 '16 at 05:25

No, I cannot access it even from the host pc. Only by going to localhost or 127.0.0.1 – Chips Sep 28 '16 at 07:18

Errr wait so it works as 127.0.0.1:8081 but not 192.168.1.8:8081?
- Confirm that IP is correct with
ipconfig -all - If IP is correct your app is probably only configured to listen on local interface. Confirm that with
netstat -an | grep 8081if you see127.0.0.1:8081than that's the case. Edit app configs to listen on correct interface/s

The IP address is correct, I have double checked that. With netstat -an it shows indeed 127.0.0.1:8081 as Local Address and 0.0.0.0:* as Foreign Address. – Chips Sep 28 '16 at 11:21

There ya go, only your PC can access 127.x.x.x network. The app should be listening on 0.0.0.0:8081 or 192.168.1.8:8081 for others have access to it. It's a security feature so you don't open it up to your whole network by default. Look at your configs – meccooll Sep 28 '16 at 18:57
