Okay, I'm still struggling with this. I opened up ports on my router, so now I'm accessing w2p admin using https from the outside world. Admin functions seem normal, except that editing files is extremely flaky. I can open a file and edit it once, but the next file I open gives a communication error when I try to open it, then, after that, I can't open any files until I log out and start over. It appears that this might be a timing issue, because, I have more success opening smaller files and some larger files I can't open at all.
This situation makes it more or less impossible to use the admin editing from a remote location. Again, when I'm editing on the same LAN as the server, everything works ok. I've checked all of the file permissions, and they seem good. If this is a situation where the editing function is timing out because of slow loading, is there a way to deal with that? > > > -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
