- Setting a Different Address +
+ Setting up External Access By default, Toaster binds to the loop back address - (i.e. localhost). - You can use the WEBPORT parameter to - set a different host. - For example, the following command sets the host and port - to "0.0.0.0:8400": + (i.e. localhost), which does not allow access from + external hosts. To allow external access, use the + WEBPORT parameter to open an + address that connects to the network, specifically the + IP address that your NIC uses to connect to the network. + You can also bind to all IP addresses the computer + supports by using the shortcut + "0.0.0.0:port". + + + + The following example binds to all IP addresses on the + host: $ source toaster start webport=0.0.0.0:8400 + This example binds to a specific IP address on the host's + NIC: + + $ source toaster start webport=192.168.1.1:8400 +
