How to access cb_admin from another computer instead of the server itself?

[Pccom Frank]

Hi,

I setup ChicagoBoss 8.12 on FreeBSD 10.0 with Erlang 17.3. I am following the ChicagoBoss evening tutorial.

After installed evening, it works.

After install cb_admin, I get a 404 error. I think it is because I am accessing it from another computer. My ChicagoBoss is installed on 192.168.0.1. I am trying to access it from 192.168.0.3.

http://192.168.0.1/greeting/index works.

http://192.168.0.1/admin display:

No routes matched the requested URL. Additionally, no handler was found for processing 404 errors. You probably want to modify /usr/local/evening/priv/evening.routes to prevent errors like this one.

crash.log is like this:
2014-10-09 23:03:31 =ERROR REPORT====
GET /admin [evening] 404 0ms

error.log is like this:

2014-10-09 23:03:31.323 [error] <0.272.0> GET /admin [evening] 404 0ms


console is like this:

Hi, I don't know if it is too late to help you but I had a similar issue when I transferred my project from running on my iMac to running from inside a Vagrant box created with "pupphet"... as soon as I tried to go to /cb_admin ... no dice.

My solution was this, by editing the cb_admin section of boss.config...

 {cb_admin,

  [

   {path, "./deps/cb_admin"},

   {allow_ip_blocks,

    [

     "127.0.0.1",

     %% This is my Mac(!) address as seen from inside the Vagrant box

     "10.0.2.2"

    ]},

   {base_url, "/admin"}

  ]},

Hope that helps.

Sean.
