Setting Up on LAN

[Matt L.]

I have added the files to my local wwwroot folder and have set up a
static IP of 192.168.1.99. I have also installed IIS and configured so
that I access my mobwrite page when I type in the IP address from any
computers in my LAN. However, what is typed on one computer is not
visible on any others. Troubleshooting suggestions?

Which MobWrite are you using? Do you have a local Python Daemon
running, or are you syncing against mobwrite3.appspot.com?

[Matt L.]

Mobrite_Daemon. I downloaded Python 3.1, but I guess I don't
understand what is supposed to be "running" on it.

Ok, if you want to run your own MobWrite server then you need to run
mobwrite_daemon.py in the background, then put one of the 'q' gateways
(python, php, java, or one of the other supported languages) in your
web server's script directory. Here are the instructions:

However, it would be a *lot* easier to use use the already available
service on mobwrite3.appspot.com. In that case just grab the
JavaScript code at the top of this page:
http://code.google.com/p/google-mobwrite/wiki/WebClient
And change 'formid' to be the id of your webpage's form or the id of
the element(s) you wish to share. Make this id unique so other
MobWrite users don't end up colliding with you.

I'm trying to set this up completely independent of the internet, so I
am taking the hard way.
I've seen those instructions and they don't make sense to me; sorry
I'm such a newb. I don't know what it means when it says "Start up the
daemon with: nohup mobwrite/daemon/mobwrite_daemon.py" and you say
"runmobwrite_daemon.py in the background".
Thanks, -Matt

Read the comments at the bottom of that page. They are from the last
Microsoft Windows user who went down this path. Hope that helps point
you in the right direction.

Maybe that's why I don't understand. I've tried running mobwrite-
daemon.py before and just tried again, but when I double-click it the
prompt only flashes up momentarily, it does not keep running. Any
thoughts on why this might be or suggestions other that making it a
service?
