Hi Christian, So basically I am running my RB using WSL on my windows pc and I want to access this on google chrome on my Ubuntu PC and other Windows PC. Will this be possible? I have changed the setting_local.py by 'localhost','ip-address' and etc. I can access reviewboard on localhost and ip address on the pc it is installed in, but still not able to access it on other computers. I ahve also tried disabling the firewall on the ubuntu pc but still not able to reach the site.
Many thanks, Lean On Tuesday, June 13, 2023 at 10:23:59 PM UTC+1 Christian Hammond wrote: > Hi Lean, > > To have a working shared install of Review Board (or any other web server > software), you'll need to do a few things: > > 1.
