In the console output from dev_appserver.py you will probably see this message:
WARNING 2011-11-17 19:46:42,731 datastore_file_stub.py:512] Could not read datastore data from /tmp/dev_appserver.datastore Apparantly that's where dev_appserver.py puts its database by default - obviously not the way to go if you want the data to be preserved for long. But luckily, you can change that with the '--datastore_path=...' parameter; check out http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/devserver.html That page also documents the '--address=0.0.0.0' parameter which you will need to use if you want the server to be accessible from other computers. But please beware that dev_appserver is intended as a development tool, certainly not as a production web server. This is also why anyone can log on as administrator: it does not manage users at all beyond letting the app know the login user name. In short: use it only for evaluation or short-term personal use. Multi- user applications should be based on Google's cloud-hosted app engine service, which is still free for modest use. See also http://giewiki.appspot.com/#DeploymentGuide which has a link to a video tutorial Bauwe made on deploying giewiki to the cloud. :-) Poul On 17 Nov., 14:04, Seba <[email protected]> wrote: > I found out when pages don't get saved.
