test server with -host

Hi

trying to run the test server and see it on another
machine.

./script/myapp_server.pl -help tells me it should bind to
all by
default, but when I run it with no host option, I can only
see it at
localhost, not at the ip for the machine (I can see other
webservers
on this machine).

if I try -host all or -host=all I get:

[info] engoi powered by Catalyst 5.7007
Use of uninitialized value in string eq at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Catalyst/Engine/HTTP.pm
line 197.
Use of uninitialized value in gethostbyaddr at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Catalyst/Engine/HTTP.pm
line 202.
Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at

Bad arg length for Socket::inet_ntoa, length is 0, should be
4 at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Catalyst/Engine/HTTP.pm
line 202.


I guess this is really simple, but it's late ... what am I
doing wrong?

cheers

Uh, `all` is not a valid IP address. 

It looks like the server does bind to all addresses –
check with
`netstat -lpt`, you should see it. But by default the
`allowed`
option in Catalyst::Engine::HTTP::run is set to only permit
connections from 127.0.0.1, if I’m reading the source
right, and
unfortunately myapp_server.pl provides no way to set a
different
value for that option from the command line.

This restriction is only for the RESTART command, ordinary
HTTP  
requests can come in from any address.

And yes, by default it will bind to all IP addresses.

It does bind everything by default, if you can't access it
from  
another host I'd
start by looking at things like hostbased-firewalls on your
development
machine...

Thanks. This is quite odd.

The dev m/c is actually a vmware guest running ubuntu on a
winxp host.
That shouldn't affect anything though, it just looks like a
normal m/c
to the network. I can prove that by running lighty and
seeing the home
page from the host.

I can't start the test server on port 80 as myself (yes, I
stopped
lighty) - the daemon is denied permission to be created. I
can do it
as root. Then I can see the page on the linux guest (the dev
m/c), on
the host it appears but is VERY slow if I ask for it by ip
address,
but no problem when I just ask for localhost on the dev m/c.
(WIth
lighty there is noticeable delay.)

Anyhow, whatever the problem is it doesn't seem to be cat,
but some
odd ubuntu/vmware thing. I don't see why cat server would be
slow
binding to 192.168.1.202 but not localhost though.

thanks for the help

Daniel
