Not able to fly the kite

2013-06-27, 14:19

Hi, I am trying to test the service, I download pagekite.py. I sign up, I run the app as instructed in the quickstart guide to launch a small server. The app does not show any error and said in green that the kite is flying but I cannot get to it. The only sign that something is wrong is the yellow sign on the account visibility page. Found on another thread that is because some backend is missing but which one? Try to run the logs on pagekite but the logs looks clean, meaning everything said it was succesful and is connecting. I know there is a connection cause when I bring up the kite it does change from the red sign to the yellow sign in the visibility part of the account page. So how do I know what is missing. Server is just a basic uhttpd server on port 80, I also try just sharing a folder with one test index file and the same result everything looks good but I just cant reach the site.

    If you are running on Windows, there is a possibility that this is a firewalling issue, that Windows is preventing PageKite from communicating with your web server.

    Otherwise, make sure the ports match, that PageKite's backend port is the same as the port of your webserver. Another thing to check is whether you have IPv6 enabled - if your backend is 'localhost' and that resolves to IPv6 loopback, but your web server is only listening on IPv4 loopback (or vice versa) you may also have this problem even if the ports are correct.

    And of course the basics, make sure that if you visit localhost:80 with a browser, you are able to communicate with your webserver directly.

    Hope this helps!

    Can I reset my pagekite somehow?

    >>> Creating kite: gotland.pagekite.me [CTRL+C = Cancel]

    *** Kite creation failed!
    *** Error code: :Access denied">
    *** Try again later?

    Thanks for the troubleshooting tips, I do all those before and they did not work. However, I do succesfully be able to get the connection, the problem was with the pagekite server, I think it was the one in california, it just not work, I supress it from the list of servers to connect and everything works fine. Not sure why but is there something configured different on the servers?

    I am also getting the dyndns error as of today. This used to work with no problems (I last tried it a few months ago).
