Actually, I probably spoke out of turn. The ":8000" at the end of the url specifies the port to use, so https shouldn't be using the default port. But, there could be a firewall preventing port 8000 from working, or a port forwarding problem if your server is hiding behind a router.
I recall having similar issues connecting to sage over https, but I don't recall all the gory details. I do recall that I had to set up ssl certificates, and enable ssh in apache before I could connect with https. Google "enable https ubuntu". I can connect to your server using http, but not using https. I think the first step is to ensure you can connect to your web server using https. Once you've confirmed that https works, you can then try connecting to the sage server. Kevin Horton On 16 Aug 2009, at 17:28, John Cremona wrote: > > Thanks Kevin -- do you know how to test that?
