I can now confirm that both 127.0.0.1 and localhost on Slackware 12.1 (Linux stef 2.6.24.5-smp #2 SMP Wed Apr 30 13:41:38 CDT 2008 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) X2 Dual Core Processor BE-2400 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux) work. In fact localhost is quietly resolved to 127.0.0.1 and pylons is served on that.
running it with localhost prints out: "bash-3.1$ paster serve --reload development.ini Starting subprocess with file monitor Starting server in PID 3306. serving on http://127.0.0.1:5000"; On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 1:19 AM, Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The Pylons developers need your help.
