I'm running python paste http server on port 8087 on Ubuntu 11.10
nmap says 8087/tcp is open
ufw firewall is inactive
But if I pull its local ip up (192.168.1.50:8087) on another local network machine, it cannot connect.
I can ping 192.168.1.50 on the local network machine fine. I can't telnet into port 8087 though, that tells me something is blocking it?
Been at this for a couple hours 0_o
Any help appreciated
it is bound to 127.0.0.1:8087 – Vigrond 46 secs ago
That's your problem. You need to reconfigure your paste server to bind to either 192.168.1.50
or to 0.0.0.0
; 127.0.0.1
is a loopback interface that doesn't accept connections from outside.
