How to set up a macmini as a server?

[Calcifer]

Hi,

I have downloaded Sage 3.4 to my MacMini running10.5.6.

When I write notebook(), it starts as expected in a web broswer, but
may not be accessible throu the local network.

if I write the following, I get blank (white) pages both on the
macmini and on the other computer, ie can not access Sage through
either of the computers.
notebook('local_notebook', port=8001, secure=True, address='',
open_viewer=False, accounts=True)
I found the above in one of posts, but don't really understand all of
the expression.

My aim is to be able to access Sage from any computer and that Sage is
automatically starts up after a power failure.

Have a nice day,
T

Use https://... instead of http://

Check out this thread:

In brief, William's instructions worked for me:

"
sage: notebook(address="ipaddress",port=8100,secure=True)

then from another computer on your network try to visit the web page

https://ipaddress:8100

That's pretty much it, except for making accounts. To create accounts
you could temporarily do

sage: notebook(address="ipaddress",port=8100,secure=True, accounts=True)

let people make accounts, then do

sage: notebook(address="ipaddress",port=8100,secure=True,accounts=False)

so no new accounts can be created. "


I used it on our intranet, where I replaced "ipaddress" by the network
name of my computer. It works great.
