Hi,
Since apache tomcat runs on port 8080, you have to explicitly type the port number :8080
However if you change its port to 80, then there is no necessity to enter port number
it becomes  <IP Address of our network>/newgenlibctxt

To change it to port 80, edit apache-tomcat-6.0.32/conf/server.xml
You will find a line <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"

change it to <Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1"

Good day!
Please help me with this technical problem. Since I'm not really a web administrator, and our IT guy can't help me, I don't really know how to give our OPAC a 'sticky' subdomain url of our own website address.
What I did so far is give the OPAC a subdomain (libsearch.collegename.edu, where college.edu is our domain) in the admin panel of our domain that points to "<IP Address of our network>:8080/newgenlibctxt".
So when the user types libsearch.collegename.edu in the browser, he gets transferred to <IP Address of our network>:8080/newgenlibctxt, but the problem is the custom URL won't stay in the browser, it will display as <IP Address of our network>:8080/newgenlibctxt. I understand I have to edit something in the server first, but I don't have an idea what.
Please help us get our OPAC online with a simple web address. :-D
