How to make iron web server accessable at my ip

1

Hi all.
Im working through the iron lib and i realy want to know if it is possible to make my iron server accessible at my ip. For example:
'Iron::new(some_routing).http("192.234.0.90:80").unwrap();'
Just panics! but on localhost:80 its ok.:
'Iron::new(some_routing).http("localhost:80").unwrap();' // OK!
What is the solution for my problem????
Thanks.

Try with

Iron::new(some_routing).http(“0.0.0.0:80”).unwrap()

I ve decided to copy it in to get more chances for a reply.

Please don't do this, that is double-posting, and increase noise in the default "all categories" view that most people use.
There is only a single forum, and the "categories" are more like tags, not limits on visibility.

Couple of things:

  • Binding to 0.0.0.0 is "any IP address" rather than binding to a particular one, try this out.
  • Binding to a port less than 1024 on linux will require superuser privileges - try binding to 0.0.0.0:8080 and pointing your browser to http://localhost:8080/
  • If these still fail - check out if localhost is actually your loopback device - $ dig localhost should show 127.0.0.1
  • To eliminate the browser as an issue when the service is running, try curl'ing the host / port and see if you get a response.
