removing pylons page from my site

[gazza]

Hello,

I am running my pylons app on a production server at the moment.

I would like to know two things:

1) How do you remove the pylons page eg

http://AA.BB.CC.DD:5000

I would like to replace it with my own page?

2) I would like to replace the IP address and port with my domain
name, how do I do this? Is there a setting I need to add to the
production.ini?

Thanks for the help and all the fish.

Thanks,
Gazza

public/index.html You can remove it and it'll display your root
controller

may want to look at

config/routing.py

perhaps add:

map.connect('/{action}', controller='root')

you might also add a handler for errors that is your own rather than
using the default 404 page.

[server:main]
use = egg:Paste#http
host = 1.2.3.4
port = 8080

lists the hostname and port that answers. Change it to port 80, make
sure you don't have another server bound to the same IP address that
you assign and replace 1.2.3.4 with the IP address you want Pylons to
answer.

However, that is if you want to run paster externally. If you want to
run pylons behind mod_wsgi, your apache config would take care of
answering on the proper port, etc.

Getting the domain to point to your site requires you to change the
DNS to point the domain at the IP. Your domain name registrar or your
hosting provider would provide the capability to point your DNS name
at a particular IP address.

Should be up next week. At for testing against.

hello gazza,

if you remove public/index.html and add map.connect('/',
controller="controller name", function="controller method") to your
config/routing.py, you will be fine. :)

good luck.
