Accessing dev server instance

[shocks]

Hi

When I run: paster serve --reload development.ini I am able to view
the site through 127.0.0.1:5000/myapp (on Ubuntu server) however I
cannot access this site from another machine on my network (ie
192.168.1.5:5000/myapp). How do I configure Pylons/Paster to allow
external access to the Pylons app?

Thanks
Ben

Ah-ha, an easy one.

Pylons defaults to a safe configuration and only serves on localhost,
hence it is unreachable from other machines.

To make your Pylons app reachable by other machines, change the "host"
settting in the development.ini configuration file from "host =
127.0.0.1" to "host = 192.168.1.5" (as given above) or whatever
specific IP address you wish to use, or even '0.0.0.0".

There's more detailed information available in the Pylons book,
handily available online:

HTH.

Cheers,

Graham
