Thank you for your response! I am afraid that my question lacked precision! Here is my regular command line to start web2py: ~/src/w2app$ ./web2py.py --password='11111' -c ../ssl-key-crt/server.crt -k ../ssl-key-crt/server.key --ip=192.168.1.25 It works very nice!
Here is my command required by dev_appserver before you deploy to gae: ~/src$ dev_appserver.py --host=192.168.1.25 w2app/ My application requires that the user is logged in before any functionality is availabe. I am not talking admin app nor appadmin app. So when it is running in dev_appserver and I try to login I get a message something like: can't login because insecure channel. And I can't use any of its functionality. This is because I am not at the local host and this behavior is understood. The problem is that my linux box, where I run web2py server, is 'headless', no windowing software, and I develop my apps via ssh and a browser from a client, in this case a chromebook, and I can never be or appear to the system as being at the local host in this fashion. Is there a linux configuration that would make me appear to the dev_appserver as being at the local host even though I am accessing it form LAN client? Thank you in advance. - On Wednesday, June 14, 2017 at 6:04:45 PM UTC-4, Anthony wrote: > > On Tuesday, June 13, 2017 at 1:12:44 PM UTC-4, [email protected] > <javascript:> wrote: >> >> I run my web2py on a home lan, headless box of linux.
