I went through the installation process ( https://github.com/sourcefabric/Booktype/blob/master/INSTALL), but after I was finished I wasn't able to connect to it. It's installed on a sandbox server that we set up just to get this running but going to SERVER_NAME:8000 doesn't connect. How can I go about using BookType?
Are you running it over apache/nginx or with builtin python web server? If you are using last method, you should bind the server to the public ip address... for instance: django-admin.py runserver 192.168.1.6:8000
If you don't specify it it will bind to the 127.0.0.1/localhost and then you can only access it from that machine.
That took care of it, but now I'm seeing a new, related problem. Since it's installed on a dedicated server the only way to work on it is by connecting to it. So I do all this with putty, but as soon as I close the putty window the booktype server program closes. How can I get it to stay running even if I personally log off of the machine?
