Hi Massimo, thanks for responding, Im sorry if these are basic questions etc. I have downloaded the standard package web2pywin zip, installed it on my windows computer and all is running well. I have now transferred that install and the Apps Ive build to a shared workdisk on our work network (windows based).
Now I access web2py.exe and run it as a windows exe file and the initial Framework opens, the web2py server starts and asks for the IP, port & password. If I use the default 127.0.0.1 , 8000 and my password, the browser opens, I can via admin open my App, so far so good. I can also open the app via http://127.0.0.1:8000/APP/default/index etc etc If I enter 0.0.0.0 port 80 and my password into the web2py server dialog box, an IE browser page opens but there is no connection to a webpage, so no default just a widows IE error page ie the webpage cannot be found. If I Open the Windows Run command and enter python web2py.py -a 'pword' -i 0.0.0.1 -p 80 I get an error (I guess cos its on a folder) If I try to use the path and command eg S:\Kul\<path to the shared disc etc>\BBDB python web2py.py -a 'bb999' -i 0.0.0.1 -p 80 Then I also get an error. Some of our computers are more tightly firewalled, however, I am generally able to navigate to the web2py.exe and run the windows exe and open the rocket server & start the web2py admin. So, If that is clearer? These are local machines using the web2py Rocket server on a standard windows computer (across a network) as per the documentation ...... *On Windows, run: web2py.exe * On OS X, run:open web2py.app On Unix and Linux, run from source by typing:python2.5 web2py.py So, While I would love to put it on a Unix system, but I dont have that option (its not allowed). So, how can I start web2py using rocket so that I can open the server & allow another different local machine to then open the app. I understand that I should be able to once rocket is open in 0.0.0.0:80, then I can (hopefully) navigate to the app. I guess that I will have to know the IP of that "shared disk" .. OR ... is there a better way. Thanks for the simple replies, Im not a networker or programmer, I just use the computers :) On Thursday, December 13, 2012 9:42:56 AM UTC+1, Seelife wrote: > > Hi Folks, If this is a basic question, my apologies. > I have an App Ive built in web2py.
