One more thing I just noticed. When I run notebook(...) to start up the notebook server, the last line displayed is https://selmer.warwick.ac.uk:8000/?startup_token=634498ad5f3559f3b0121beeb6e0beb8: No such file or directory and this may be a clue to the problem. On 19 Aug, 15:10, John

It's ubuntu and we can open the port as we have root access (assuming John is talking about the same machine - which I am pretty sure he is). How secure is the notebook server these days. Is it still advised to set it up in a chroot jail (see my other post about problems I had doing that).

The answer really depends on if your server is on an intranet LAN (inaccessible from the rest of the world) or on a (public) internet web server. In the former case, the answer is very easy and even I can answer your question! On Sun, Aug 16, 2009 at 9:49 AM, John Cremonajohn.crem...@gmail.com
