How can I access amagama server localhost from another PC in the same LAN? #3203

Hello everybody,

I managed to install amagama and it works just fine on the host machine. Now, I am trying to access it from another machine within the same local area network "LAN", but there nothing. I got the machine IP address and used as follows: 192.168.1.94:8888, but nothing shows up. Any idea? I have been trying for hours, but in vain. I appreciate your support.

Another question: How can you make amagama server running side by side next to an Apache server? Any guide on this?

thanks, Mohamed

I think that if you use the --bind argument you can attach it to some host name or IP address of your choice. Run amagama --help for more info. In case that doesn't provide enough info, see https://github.com/translate/amagama/blob/master/bin/amagama#L31-L35.

amaGama is a Flask app, so you can use any web server that supports WSGI to serve amaGama using this script bundled with amaGama https://github.com/translate/amagama/blob/master/wsgi.py.

Not sure which web server you want to use, but http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.10/deploying/mod_wsgi/ explains how to get it working with Apache. Search on the Internet for how to setup a Flask app using any other web server of your choice if you don't like Apache.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Yes, I wanted to run it behind Apache server and thanks for the link. In Amagama folder, there is a file called wsgi.py. Is this the one to use for this setup? Or should I create a new one named amagama.wsgi.py? I am a bit confused. Maybe, if there is a virtual machine for an Apache setup, it would make things easier. Thanks again for your support. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, that wsgi.py is the one you should use. I already linked it in one of my previous comments. You can rename it to the name you want.

No, there is not a virtual machine for an Apache setup.
