I was trying to see if limiting to 1 thread would make the debugger work and stop in my controller code (like it used to).
Nope. No joy. I've really borked this up. As always, it's the thing you _don't_ check that an be the problem. I have scoured over my client and svr code and I can't find *anything* outstanding or wrong (although I might still be missing it). I tried accessing web2py from my client's browser and it worked fine. Just xmlrpc won't work - anymore. And then... Funny. That's odd. Somehow my bridged lan connection from the client in virtualbox is now set to NAT (thus it's ip is 10.0.0.x). What the? Setting the -o to 50000 showed me that my code is hanging. Methinks that my network problems may be behind this problem. I remember back that a new VirtualBox came out (3.0!) and I installed it on my Mac and did _not_ touch my web2py box. Sun completely borked the networking - tons of folk on the forums whining about it. I must have fiddled with my HP laptop to check some settings and left it on NAT rather than LAN. Seeing as the ips are NONROUTABLE I *believe* that I must be on the same LAN if I want traffic between the (virtual) boxes. Putting it back on Bridged mode of course means that *nothing* works now. Are we having fun yet? -- Rb Oh yeah. I put this error into the "stupid" category. ***Sigh*** (fingers and eyes crossed that this IS the problem) On Jul 27, 11:20 pm, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > Why setting these parameters? > > -n 1 -o 5000 > > one thread only? > > Why not just leave the default parameters? > > Massimo > > On Jul 27, 8:39 pm, rb <rbspg...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Thx.
