I would like to install on a Linux Debian Lite distro (a version without
Desktop GUI).
But this does not work. The manual says:
If you do not provide an administrator password, the administration
interface is disabled. This is a security measure to prevent publicly
exposing the admin interface.
The administrative interface, *admin*, is only accessible from localhost
unless you run web2py behind Apache with mod_proxy. If *admin* detects a
proxy, the session cookie is set to secure and *admin* login does not work
unless the communication between the client and the proxy goes over HTTPS;
this is a security measure. All communications between the client and
*admin* must always be local or encrypted; otherwise an attacker would be
able to perform a man-in-the middle attack or a replay attack and execute
arbitrary code on the server.
Would it work to SSH to the command console and
define password with:
> python -c "from gluon.main import save_password;
save_password(raw_input('my password'),443)"
and run with:
> python web2py.py -a 'my password' -i 127.0.0.1 -p 8000
How should I use the command console to set the admin password and login
without a GUI?
