IPython will not start in Chrome

I am using an Anaconda 32-bit intallation of python 2.7.5.

When I try ipython notebook at prompt or via Anaconda launcher the Chrome tab opens at 127.0.0.1:8888 and all I get is a blank, white browser screen.

C&P of 127.0.0.1:8888 into IE10 correctly opens with no problem.

The command prompt for ipython notebook -debug shows:

[tornado.access] WARNING | 404 GET api/sessions?_=1385980866174 (127.0.0.1) 0.00ms

I am not connected through any proxies.

UPDATE

I realize now that localhost:8888 works on Chrome. IS there some setting I can change so that when it defaults to 127.0.0.1:8888 IPython runs, rather than change to localhost every time.

Solution

  • Since you mentioned IE10, I am assuming you are on Windows.

    You problem is very strange. 127.0.0.1 should be equivalent to localhost regardless of your browser. If it works in IE10, then it indicates that it is a problem with Chrome and not your OS. You should check your HOSTS file nonetheless.

    Try clearing Chrome's browser cache, user profiles etc. Even going so far as re-installing Chrome might get things to work.
