The Sage notebook run via the notebook command has nothing to do with apache or your web server. So that's not the first step, IMHO. Kevin's other remarks seem very on I'm guessing you have a firewall setup on that computer which doesn't let anything in except on ports that have been explicitly opened. The right command (now that you gave more info) is sage: notebook(address="137.205.37.242", port=8000, secure=True) Questions: (1) On that computer itself say from a text console, can you do lynx https://137.205.37.242:8000 ? Can you do lynx https://localhost:8000 (2) What happens if you try sage: notebook(address="137.205.37.242", port=8000, secure=False) and http://137.205.37.242 (3) What happens if you try shutting down apache, then run the notebook as *root* and type sage: notebook(address="137.205.37.242", port=80, secure=True) and try to connect from some other computer? Maybe you can't if you're not root and the university controls root. (I'm guessing this box is at Univ of Warwick.) (4) Precisely what operating system are you using? Was it say Redhat (or similar) setup by the university? If so, they almost *surely* have lots of firewall stuff setup completely standard to avoid malware, hackers, etc. If this is the case, you must talk to them and ask them to open up port 8000 so you can run a Sage notebook server on it and have outside connections. (5) Failing all that, you might want to do ssh port forwarding. I think Nils Bruin posted some nice instructions about how to do this to sage-devel once. -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
