Feature request: PiUi without nginx? about piui HOT 7 CLOSED

I did test this application yesterday and it is possible to just access it on the local network. I didn't do the access point configuration and it just runs on the local network.

from piui.

@MrChronoM: could you explain how? Running the sample app I can curl localhost:9999, but I cannot read the Pi from another machine (I can on port 80 though)?

I just followed the 'do-it-yourself' installation instructions on http://blog.davidsingleton.org/introducing-piui/, but starting by editing the hosts file (not the Access Point). When the installation is all done I did run 'python piui_demo.py' and from that point on I could connect to http://:9999/
(Not sure what is running on all different ports, but I think 80 and 9000 have something to do with nginx or CherryPi)

Hi folks, the reason nginx is required is to force HTTP/1.0. Without this, the interaction between cherrypy and the android web browser is laggy (related to how pipelined connections are handled). If you have no interest in your project working well on android, you can drop nginx and connect directly to port 9999 or even run cherrypy on port 80

So you're basically using localhost rhen? Could you check if you could connent to :9999 from another machine? That would help narrow down the problem I'm seeing. Thanks!

The cherrypy instance serves on 0.0.0.0:9999 so you should be able to connect from any other machine on either the wired or wireless (if available) network, assuming that your router or rpi configuration doesn't have any firewall in the way.

Please forgive me- confirmed working as suggested.
