I don't believe I've come across any such generous soul. Likely, your best option is to simply host it on your local box, and then point your "other people" at your external interface. You can easily find this by browsing to http://whatsmyip.org and you can then direct your chums to http://<ip_address>/ You might have to tweak your server (apache or whatever) to listen as this address. Alternatively, there are some dynamic DNS providers that for free (or for a cheap price) will allow you to have a subdomain of one of their many domains. There's a nice catalog of them here: http://www.technopagan.org/dynamic/ They usually have a tool that runs on your local PC (some have packages already in some Linux distros, such as dyndns.org which allows updating via the Debian "ddclient" package...just "apt-get install ddclient") That way, you could register something like "example.homeip.org" with dyndns.org, configure ddclient to automatically update your info with your latest IP address, and then your chums can just go to "http://example.homeip.org"; and, no matter what your ISP changes your IP address to, they hit your machine (as long as the daemon has had time to run and sync matters). Check your ISP Terms Of Service to ensure they won't give you the boot for running a web server from your home. -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
