Re: web server hack for i41CX+ Message #2 Posted by Les Wright on 12 Sept 2008, 11:08 p.m., in response to message #1 by Alain Mellan
Excellent!
I like that better, since (under Mac OS X Leopard) I don't have go thru the rigamarole of activating my computer as a web server in System Preferences > Sharing and I can keep my raw files ANYWHERE and have a simple temporary URL. To use the default webserver preferences I have to copy my desired files into one place in a subdirectory of the /Users /username/Sites folder.
Just one tip for Mac users, though. On my set up, the output from iconfig is like a dog's breakfast--all sorts of IP addresses and MAC codes and other goods, and lots of it. You are looking for any IP address preceded by "inet" for simplicity, I chose the first one, but there are 3 other such candidates that seem to work just fine for me once SimpleHTTPServer is running.
I don't understand enough about Linux/Unix/Mac networking protocols to know why it works, but it does.
Thanks for sharing this, Alain.
