Hi Folks, can anyone suggest a way to deal with firewalls and run rocket so that we can share the App? my usual error when rocket tries to open the welcome page is : Traceback (most recent call last): File "gluon/restricted.py", line 205, in restricted File "F:/Web2Py/applications/welcome/mo

I have a feeling you're mixing two things here. First, you need to start rocket on 0.0.0.0, so that it will listen to all your local IPs (to simplify things). If rocket starts normally and you still can't access web2py on your local IP, than you need to open your firewall. After your firewall a

Hi Folks, Ok at least some progress. I can get rocket to work with 0.0.0.8000 on my computer, and then open the app with http://myip/app/etc etc But if I try to open that app now by accessing my computer via the IP then the page is blocked I guess by the network firewall.' Cos we dont have admin

Can I suggest you to use the free PythonAnywhere web site for your design / test phase? Of course it is not feasible for your privacy needs, but it is something you can play on easily from everywhere. Anyhow, you must run it with 0.0.0.0:8000 in order to have it visible from other PCs. Then use ht

Hi Nico, thanks for input. yes I know I need to use the IP of my computer so others can access the running App. As I said, I am at the moment just running it on my local computer, my work desktop. I should then be able to access the app by opening the web address of my computer (IP) and run the

Hi Seelife. In order to access your running web2py application from another pc you must use the real IP of your pc (not 0.*, not 127.*). You can find it with the IPCONFIG command in a Command Prompt window. Note that (if firewalls allow it) the other pc's will connect to your pc only, and not with

Hi Niphlod, thanks for the hints. I am not sure of the IP address of the network shared disk. In the meantime I testing running on my local machine in "open listening" and then accessing my machine from elsewhere. When I start web2py.exe , I get the Web2py framework starting etc, hardcron etc

0.0.0.0 is not a real address 0.0.0.0 is a "fake" address (but somewhat standard) to say "listen on all network interfaces". Normally you have a computer running web2py on 0.0.0.0 (for the sake of the example, on port 8000) that can access "itself" (meaning, from the same computer) web2py at

I am not sure I fully understand your quesiton/questions. if you only want to expose one application you can use damin and disable the other ones. You choose a host machine and you run it there from ip 0.0.0.0 and port 80. Other machines in the network can access it at http:///yourapp assuming
