How To Make your Pentaho BI Server Accessible from your LAN

Pentaho 1.7 GA comes with JBoss as the Application Server by default. To make your server accessible from your LAN, you will need to modify your server.xml and your starting and stopping script.

1- Modify your server.xml file

In your JBoss folder, go to server > default > deploy >jboss-web.deployer >server.xml.

Change the address attribute of your connector tag to your server IP address:



2- Modify your scripts
In your start-pentaho script, add the following parameter in the line that starts the JBoss server:
-b 192.168.1.108 (The IP address should be your server IP address).
at this line /home/blutch009/pentaho/bi-server/jboss/run.sh -b 192.168.1.108
This line starts your JBoss AS and binds it to your server IP address so that it can be accessible from within your LAN at the port specified in your server.xml file (8080 by default).
In your stop-pentaho script, add your server IP address at this line after -S:
pentaho/bi-server/jboss/bin/shutdown.sh -S 192.168.1.108
