Queer Scenarion

Hi,
I have the following set up in my local network.
Application A is deployed on machine A. A is accessing the databases D1 and D2 on Machine B for getting data.
The application is retrieving all the data from the two databases, if i access the application on A by invoking the browser on A on machine A itself.
However, the data from D2 is not being retrieved if , I access the applciation on A from a browser on any other machine. ( I am getting 'page not found ' error ).
Have you come across any such situation.?? Is it a browser setting that i am not able view the data.??

Thanks,
Anand

The problem is probably not that the app can't get the data- it seems as though you just can't get to the app. Check your iptables rules, and make sure that they allow connects from outside. Also, check that you are on the right port.

I once saw someone trying to access another machine on his lan by 127.0.0.1 because that worked from the machine that he was trying to access. If that is what _you_ are doing, then know that 127.0.0.1 means "this machine", if you move to a different machine, you will need to use the proper address.

You can check the address of a machine that you are on with "ifconfig" in *nix and "ipconfig" in windows.
