What URL to use to connect from a Client

pgareis

What url do I use to connect the SQL Monitor I installed on a Server.
On the Server I connected with http:/127.0.0.1:8080 but what do I use to connect from my desktop??

The URL is usually something like [url=http://]http://[/url]<serverName>:<portNumber>.

So if I had installed the website on a server called 'fred' then the URL would be http://fred:8080

If the machine is on a different domain or subdomain then it would be safer to fully qualify the machine name. Then the URL would be something like http://fred.example.com:8080 (where example.com is the name of your domain).

We have a getting-started guide but after a quick look it doesn't seem to contain this information

I will make a suggestion to our technical author.
