When I start web2py, it says please visit: http://127.0.0.1:8000. Obviously that address only works for the local instance. So from the web browser on my desktop machine, I use the public IP address and enter http://10.xx.xx.xx:8000, and receive an error message:
The connection has timed out The server at 10.xx.xx.xx is taking too long to respond. To troubleshoot, I opened up permissions all the way -- inbound permissions for TCP ports 1-65000, source 0.0.0.0/0 I've used AWS for a while, but this is the first time I've tried to set up a web server on EC2. Is the web2py embedded web server accessible in this way? Or do I have to put it behind Apache to be reachable from another machine?
