Frequently asked questions ( 5 )

Q

How does it work?

A

PageKite creates a connection between your localhost server and the public Internet. Your local server gets a public name (something.pagekite.me) which anyone can connect to using a normal web browser.

Q

Is there any alternatives available ?

A

There are many alternative
joomla, blogger, Grav, drupal

Q

Why can't I type my password? (Windows)

A

The pagekite.py signup process requests a password using Python's standard getpass() routine.

Q

Where is my configuration file?

A

The location of your configuration file depends on your operating system and how you are using PageKite:

On any unix-based system (including the Mac and all Linux distributions), your configuration file will be created in your home directory and named .pagekite.rc (note the leading dot).

Q

Where is my configuration file in .deb and .rpm?

A

People using the Debian or RPM packages to integrated pagekite.py into their operating system (so it starts up on boot) can find the system-wide configuration in the folder /etc/pagekite.d/.



Note that the configuration in this case is broken up into multiple files, each ending in .rc (files with other endings are ignored).
