Thank you for all the help... The firewall service was never started so it was not an issue - otherwise portqry would show "filtered" rather than "not listening". One of the mistakes I made was that the cherrypy server was started with 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0.
Now I can assess the machine and see the admin interface, but when I get "Admin is disabled because insecure channel" after I login with my admin password. I guess I have to set up the SSL certificate .... - quite daunting - will give it a try. I also try to delete code from access.py and appadmin.py but never quite successful, as I kept getting some tickets, I must have deleted more than what is required.
