In the ODK Collect app installed on my phone, I can see the form on this
server. But I am not able to download it. I get the following error:
"Mobile Communities (ID: mob_comm) - Error: Not Found (404) at http://muc.iiitd.edu.in/formXml?formId=mob_comm"
As you can see the port no. has been removed from the download link.

This supports the above claim that the port no. has been removed from the
download link by the ODK Aggregate.
The solution that the help provided was to install the ODK Aggregate VM. I
have done that umpteen no. of times but to no avail. I have got this same
error every single time.
I am still using default logins. So you all can see the issues for yourself.
It would be great if you guys could please look into the issue. Any kind of
help or suggestion is appreciated.
Can you verify that you can access the server from an outside computer
as some universities run firewalls?
One thought is in Collect is to try to use the Other option in in
Server Platform in the "General Settings" because other was added to
give people more ability to control their URLs when creating an
aggregate alternative. It might fix the problem.

I think your Aggregate install is picking up the IP and port of the VM
and using that as the base URL. There's no easy way around this in the
VM.
Instead what i'd recommend is to install Tomcat/MySQL on your machine,
and use the Aggregate installer to generate a new WAR. When you do the
install, use http://muc.iiitd.edu.in:9250 as the fully-qualified
domain.

I have ODK Collect 1.2.2 (1023) installed on my Android 4.0 phone. When I
change the 'Server Platform' in 'General Settings' from 'ODK Aggregate' to
'Other', I get no change in the options. I probably have tried everything
from ODK Collect to solve this problem. The problem most probably lies in
the ODK Aggregate VM.

I had already thought of that option. It is possibly the last resort.
I had a few doubts. Do I let the HTTP/1.1. Connector Port remain as
default, i.e. 8080? Also, do I enter the Internet-visible IP address or DNS
name as muc.iiitd.edu.in:9000?
If I do both these things, I am told that I can access the link
http://muc.iiitd.edu.in:9000:8080/ODKAggregate. Now this doesn't seem a
good idea to me.

I too wasn't really sure if that would work. But then if you use
muc.iiitd.edu.in:9000 as the DNS name, the ODK Aggregate installer appends
the port HTTP port to the url by itself. One way I thought of working
around that was changing the Tomcat Apache server's port from 8080 to 80.
That ways probably 80 won't be appended in the url. Do you think this would
work?

This is a situation similar to that of another user...
There are two hostname and port combinations to keep separate in your
mind.
(1) the hostname and port to which a browser or ODK Collect device will
connect ( if I'm following the e-mail chain, this is muc.iiitd.edu.in:9000)
(2) the hostname and port on which ODK Aggregate is running (again, if I'm
following the e-mail chain, this is the IP address of the VM and port of
the deployment on that VM (e.g., 8080)),
When you run the ODK Aggregate installer, you must specify the values for
(1); the values for (2) are entirely irrelevant w.r.t. the installer.
So when you run the ODK Aggregate installer to generate the war file that
is deployed on the VM, you should specify:
HTTP/1.1 Connector Port: 9000
Internet-wide IP address or DNS name: muc.iiitd.edu.in
Then deploy that war file onto the VM.
NOTE: I am unfamiliar with the mechanism for configuring the VM. If the ODK
Aggregate installer is not executed, then hopefully these two values are
requested during the VM configuration process.
You would then set up host or port forwarding for muc.iitd.edu.in, port
9000 to send traffic to the IP address of the VM and port on which ODK
Aggregate is deployed on that VM (port 8080).

I had already thought of that option. It is possibly the last resort.
I had a few doubts. Do I let the HTTP/1.1. Connector Port remain as
default, i.e. 8080? Also, do I enter the Internet-visible IP address or DNS
name as muc.iiitd.edu.in:9000?
If I do both these things, I am told that I can access the link http://muc.iiitd.edu.in:9000:**8080/ODKAggregate. Now this doesn't seem
a good idea to me.

The VM's Tomcat install listens on port 80. There is also no
internet-wide IP address configured with that WAR. Aggregate just uses
whatever IP it gets.
Both are config options that enable easier setup for most users, but
I'm guessing that combination is what might be at the root of Karan's
problem.

This is a situation similar to that of another user...
There are two hostname and port combinations to keep separate in your mind.
(1) the hostname and port to which a browser or ODK Collect device will
connect ( if I'm following the e-mail chain, this is muc.iiitd.edu.in:9000
)
(2) the hostname and port on which ODK Aggregate is running (again, if I'm
following the e-mail chain, this is the IP address of the VM and port of the
deployment on that VM (e.g., 8080)),
When you run the ODK Aggregate installer, you must specify the values for
(1); the values for (2) are entirely irrelevant w.r.t. the installer.
So when you run the ODK Aggregate installer to generate the war file that is
deployed on the VM, you should specify:
HTTP/1.1 Connector Port: 9000
Internet-wide IP address or DNS name: muc.iiitd.edu.in
Then deploy that war file onto the VM.
NOTE: I am unfamiliar with the mechanism for configuring the VM. If the ODK
Aggregate installer is not executed, then hopefully these two values are
requested during the VM configuration process.
You would then set up host or port forwarding for muc.iitd.edu.in, port 9000
to send traffic to the IP address of the VM and port on which ODK Aggregate
is deployed on that VM (port 8080).
I too wasn't really sure if that would work. But then if you use
muc.iiitd.edu.in:9000 as the DNS name, the ODK Aggregate installer appends
the port HTTP port to the url by itself. One way I thought of working around
that was changing the Tomcat Apache server's port from 8080 to 80. That ways
probably 80 won't be appended in the url. Do you think this would work?

In the ODK Collect app installed on my phone, I can see the form on

"Mobile Communities (ID: mob_comm) - Error: Not Found (404) at http://muc.iiitd.edu.in/formXml?formId=mob_comm"

Also, there probably is an issue with the url redirects too. Try
pasting
this in your browser. http://muc.iiitd.edu.in:9250/
When the ODK Aggregate has set up its own server, this should work.
But the
redirect goes haywire here and I am directed to this link.

When you have port forwarding across hosts, it is often hard to maintain
the original hostname and port through the request path; in this case, the
original port is getting lost. Also, when executing any of the background
tasks like generating CSV export files or KML files, without the explicit
host and port identified, these background activities won't know what
hostname and port to supply when emitting links that point back to the ODK
Aggregate instance.
If the VM doesn't allow for configuring the host and port values on which
the incoming request arrives, rather than defaulting to the values passed
through on the http request, it is likely to result in quirky behavior.
