[ome-users] webadmin inaccessible via localhost:8000

[Paulo Almeida]

Hi Zoltan,

I had a similar problem but I could log in from localhost, so it's not the 
same. Are you using the internal server or something like mod_python on 
Apache? For the latter (recommended in a production environment) there's this 
site in the documentation:
