anywhere.py rocket admin on port 80 no ssl

[lucas]

maybe a common question.  how do i allow access to the admin interface on regular port 80 and without ssl?  i have web2py running on a little local raspberry pi, behind firewalls, and i'm not concerned with security.

thank you in advance, lucas

You have just to set the appadmin password manually as described here:

setting the password is not the problem.  if I try to come in under port 80, http://..., web2py throws "Admin is disabled because insecure channel".

I do it by ssh'ing to the machine where I want to access the interface. In my case from my local (Linux) machine I do

`ssh -L 80:127.0.0.1:80 us...@remote.machine.com`. This sets up a tunnel from the local m/c to the remote m/c.

Then I access my local machine in the browser by 127.0.0.1:80 and ssh transports the request over to port 80 on the remote machine. web2py just responds to a request on its port 80.

Google for ssh tunnel.
