What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install WebIOPi 
2. install hostapd and udhcpd to make Pi as Wireless Access Point
3. WebIOPi work well with wire plugged. Unplug the wire and reboot. Cannot 
access http://pi:8000/webiopi/

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-> It should work well both wiring and wireless

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

check your iptables and specific configuration, this is not a webiopi issue

I thinks It's WebIOPi Issue. It may specifics to work with eth0. But what I 
want is let WebIOPi work with wlan0. 

After I try to start it manual with "python3 -m webiopi" command. It print 
traceback bellows. 

================================================

$ python3 -m webiopi

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages/WebIOPi-0.5.3-py3.2-linux-armv6l.egg/webiopi.py", line 94, in getLocalIP
    s.connect(('8.8.8.8', 53))
socket.error: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

if config looks like this.

================================================

I configured RPi as Access Point and it works fine. I sets wlan0 to static IP 
(10.0.0.1) and unplugged eth0 off. I can get IP address on client correctly. 
Ping 10.0.0.1 is fine and I can browse home page from Apache (i didn't install 
in this case). So, I don't thing its about iptables.

Well, I'm Java and Objective-C programmer and have no experience with Python. 
You may not necessary to change your code. Just give me some snipped code (or 
Google hint) and tell me where I can hard code to make it work only with wlan0.

Thank again.

Best Regards,
Olarn U.

"mon.wlan0" ... french speaking ?
WebIOPi binds on all IPs/interfaces. The IP shown is just a hint.
Your error is due to a syntax error in exception handling when trying to get 
this hint.
see issue #25, it's fixed on the trunk

Do not change locale on RPi.
