Problem accessing server via IP address

[Michael Pearce]

I am implementing a turbogears application and whilst I can
access the application when testing on the server with http://localhost:8080,
I'm unable to access it via the IP address (eg. http://10.136.21.32:8080).
Is there a configuration setting which has to be set to map
the IP address. I initially posted this on the cherrypy-users group and was advised the following:

 

You must set socket_host to 0.0.0.0
for example:
cherrypy.config.update({'server.socket_host': '0.0.0.0'})
or in config file

Given that this is a Turbogears application, where would I put the above setting, and which cherrypy library would I need to include.

 

Thanks,

Your deployment config file:

http://docs.turbogears.org/1.1/Configuration#cherrypy-configuration-reference

BUT, see the note on the server.socket_host setting on the above page.
Setting it to '0.0.0.0' doesn't work with systems which have both an
IPv4 and IPv6 stack (e.g. newer Linux systems and OS X).

None. It is already imported by your application's start script.
