Access Bit Bucket Server Through a URL

[Steven Slutzky]

I'm trying to setup accessing my BitBucket Server through a  named URL rather than through the IP Address.   Currently I access the server with this URL.  http://10.1.0.100:7990

I want to access it through http://companyurl.com:7990   

How do I configure that?

It looks like I have to setup something in Tomcat.

You don't actually need to do anything with Tomcat if you want to run it on that url.  Change your DNS servers so that http://companyurl.com resolves to 10.1.0.100 and then tell bitbucket to use the named url instead of the ip address.

I'm trying to access my server through a firewall.    I have ports 7990-7993 opened.   When I try to access the site through the firewall it cannot connect.   So internally my companyurl.com points to that site, I use port forwarding to connect to the internal Bitbucket server.   Am I missing something?

If you can reach the server over the url internally, but not externally, then either the routing from the outside is not right, or the DNS entry is wrong.

What error message do you get when you try to connect?

Ok finally figured it out.   My port forwarding was disabled.   Grrrrr didn't notice that!

Thanks for the quick response.
