Thank you, Joe, for the reply. I wasn't sure if there was anyone on the list who is familiar with osx server.
I followed the instructions at <http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/ OsxFcgi> and the "updated" instructions linked from that page. I am trying to use Apache 1.3. I have Apache 2 on the server, but not running as I don't know enough to set it up with the Apple admin tools I use. Yes, when I start Django using "runserver" on the server I can access the admin pages as expected using the browser on the server. I think I am missing something in your comment "In the process of setting up anything else, you should be pointing your browser to that service and whatever port you defined (typically 80). ". Perhaps you can help me understand a bit more about this. Given the server is running, I move to another workstation and open the browser. Then I enter URL that is mapped to that server, e.g. dev.mophilly.com. The web server returns the main page. With that I want to open the Django admin pages to make things are working. - Mark On Apr 30, 2007, at 10:39 AM, Joseph Heck wrote: > Hi Mark, > > Your question doesn't leave enough detail to really fill in an > answer.
