I am trying to install project management application called Redmine on Windows Azure Virtual Machine and access it from internet. Redmine is based on Ruby and is using a database so I also had to install them too. Actually I managed to install everything and when I connect to virtual machine by Remote Desktop I can access Redmine there by typing localhost/redmine in browser. The question is what should I do now to access it from outside? (for example home pc or anybody in internet). My virtual machine has got an address like myapp.cloudapp.com but there is no way I can access redmine by typing myapp.cloudapp.com/redmine or something like this.

Well, I can’t exactly speak for Azure as I haven’t used it, but there should be a way to forward port 80 through to your VM. You should also make sure IIS is setup to listen on 0.0.0.0:80 and not 127.0.0.1:80
Edit: Usually port forwarding is setup in the control panel for a cloud provider, so I would start by checking whatever interface Azure gives you to configure your VM.
