Dear sesamers,

I was reading about the web capabilites of Sesame. The documentation says that to run Sesame as a web server (-web_server switch), one needs to also have a Sesame Client load up a sesame application. I don't know if this is possible in a linux hosting environement ?

I tried with the API to no avail. I wrote a 2 lines python script that would just import the sesame python api and connect to the server and keep the connxion open (the program is running in an interactive interpreter that stays open), but the http://localhost:80 still shows "impossible to connect" message on my browser, and according to lsof -i:80, the server isn't listening on port 80.


Here's how I launch the server

./sesame-2017 -server localhost  -web_server 80 -daemon 

Here's proof that port 80 isn't open

root@karabeela ~ # lsof -i:80
root@karabeela ~ # 

Here's simple python code that connets to the server

import sesame_python_api as sesame
cnx = sesame.SesameConnect("localhost")
if not cnx:
    print "no cnx"
    exit(1)
 

It is run with ipython -i switch, like this :

ipython -i sesameconnect.py

After a while, the console where the server is launched shows this message

Communications error with socket set notice. 

I don't know if the message is relevant or not.

Thanks for any feedback

Hello ray and thanks for the reply.

I was hoping I could run the client on the linux web server too instead of a desktop computer, so that it would be a 100% web solution. I guess the only option for me at the moment is to re-implement a CRUD using the API.

Thanks again !
