Open Microscopy Environment

Hi everybody,

We are running OMERO.server on windows xp and locally we can connect to omero.webadmin and omero.clients (insight and importer) but remotely we can only connect with omero.clients and not with omero.webadmin.

We have tried editing /omero_dist/lib/python/omero/plugins/server.py as mentioned above:

Code: Select all

django = ["python","manage.py","runserver","170.210.29.134:8000","--noreload"]+list(args)


where 170.210.29.134 is the IP adress of the computer that has the server instaled on and port 8000 is open.

Then, when we type 170.210.29.134:8000/webadmin/ on the internet browser of the remote PC we get an error that says that the requested URL could not be retrieved.

Is there anything wrong in the line edited in /omero_dist/lib/python/omero/plugins/server.py?
Is 170.210.29.134:8000/webadmin/ the correct address to reference to a remote PC?


Thanks in advance.

Could you please confirm you configured the following:
If you require to configure the out of the box setup to listen for webadmin and webclient connections on different host configure the following in /home/omero/omero_dist/etc/grid/templates.xml by adding after --noreload:

Code: Select all

<server-template id="WebTemplate">
  <parameter name="act" default="on-demand"/>
  <server id="Web" exe="python" activation="${act}" pwd="${OMEROPY_HOME}omeroweb">
    <option>manage.py</option>
    <option>runserver</option>
    <option>--noreload</option>
    <option>10.0.0.1:8000</option><!-- your ip & port here -->
    <env>${PYTHONPATH}</env>
    <adapter name="WebAdapter" register-process="true" endpoints="tcp" server-lifetime="false"/>
  </server>
</server-template>

Django application offers development web server what is documented in http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/in ... ent-server but we do not recommend using this server in a production mode. It has not gone through security audits or performance tests. Apache with mod_python is the preferred setup for deploying a Django application on a production server. You can find more information on the Django site http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.0/ho ... modpython/.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I have now configured C:\omero_dist\etc\grid\templates.xml like this:

Code: Select all

<server-template id="WebTemplate">
      <parameter name="act" default="on-demand"/>
      <server id="Web" exe="python" activation="${act}" pwd="${OMEROPY_HOME}omeroweb">
        <option>manage.py</option>
        <option>runserver</option>
   <option>--noreload</option>
      
   <option>170.210.29.134:8000</option>
      
        <env>${PYTHONPATH}</env>
        <adapter name="WebAdapter" register-process="true" endpoints="tcp" server-lifetime="false"/>
      </server>
    </server-template>


where 170.210.29.134 is the IP adress of the computer that has the server instaled on, but still now working, we can not connect remotely to omero.webadmin.

I am tring to access with this address: http://170.210.29.134:8000/webadmin/
Is that the correct way?

On the other hand, i am not very sure what do you mean when you say "server in a production mode" or "production server". I am not familiar with that term, sorry.

We just want to be able to use omero.webadmin and omero.clients on any PC of the network. We are able to do that with omero.clients but no yet with omero.webadmin.

Thanks in advance.

OMERO platform includes a development server (a lightweight Web server written purely in Python), which is ideal for demonstrating/testing how powerful OMERO platform is. Unfortunately, this server is only designed to run in a local environment and could not deal with the pressures of a production mode of the application used by many people concurrently. For that, you need to deploy OMERO.web to a production-grade web server, such as Apache.

You will need mod_python http://www.modpython.org/ module for Apache http://httpd.apache.org/

For more details how to run the OMERO.web in the production mode please follow the instruction on:
http://www.openmicroscopy.org.uk/site/s ... nstall-web Configuration Guide for mod_python (production) section.

I cannot get to my webadmin http://127.0.0.1:8000/ webadmin and I cannot login to my omero clients.
When I load my site I get the message

Could it something to to with the apache httpd.exe?
I change it like the description but when I start the httpd.exe I get the message

Code: Select all

Invalid Command 'PythonHandler, perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

It seems that mod_python is not fully configured yet. Did you try to google your problem? http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&q=window ... 97cb1cb636

Oh, okay.
I solve now the problem
