I finally figured this out (yesterday was my second night trying to get this to work). It was the Linux firewall. I added a few lines to iptables and after that I could open the admin panel. It's not my server so I was unaware that iptables was even installed.
Sorry for this. At least I now know that some of that stuff in the logs are ok even though they look suspicious. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
