Hi Leonel, Many thanks for pointing that out it worked a treat. Just to further my newbie questions - using ip 127.0.0.1 always worked when I previously started the server and, now I have used your advice to use ip 1.0.0.1 to get the server going again, when I stop and start it 127.0.0.1 now works again. To get it going in the first place (using ip 127.0.0.1) I followed the web2py book and advice from this forum. Anyhow my (naive) question is why?
Many thanks again, Heather On Mon, Oct 5, 2015 at 3:01 PM, Leonel Câmara <[email protected]> wrote: > You're using the wrong IP address > > sudo python web2py.py -a 'password' -i 1.0.0.1 -p 8000 > > It should be > > sudo python web2py.py -a 'password' -i 127.0.0.1 -p 8000 > > > I think we should call the ability to catch this kind of mistakes quickly > "programmer's eye" or something.
