Hi Folks, can anyone suggest a way to deal with firewalls and run rocket so that we can share the App? my usual error when rocket tries to open the welcome page is :
Traceback (most recent call last): File "gluon/restricted.py", line 205, in restricted File "F:/Web2Py/applications/welcome/models/db.py" </admin/default/edit/welcome/models/db.py>, line 14, in <module> File "gluon/dal.py", line 5968, in __init__ RuntimeError: Failure to connect, tried 5 times: I can open the admin area and edit the apps etc, just not run the app or welcom... frustrating. Thanks heaps...
