At least for the time being, you should probably not attempt to run admin on 
DotCloud because using admin remotely requires SSL, and DotCloud does not 
yet support SSL, so it's a big security risk. There is a workaround 
mentioned in the DotCloud web2py tutorial here: 
http://docs.dotcloud.com/tutorials/web2py/#using-web2py-admin -- it involves 
hacking the admin app so it doesn't require a secure session, so not 
recommended for production sites.
 
Note, even if DotCloud did offer SSL connections, they still don't recommend 
running admin on the server (not sure exactly why).
