[Potlatch-dev] Potlatch2 dev

[Richard Fairhurst]

Hi Sean,

Great that you'd like to help!

Off the top of my head, I get that if I look at 
http://localhost/~richard/etc rather than http://127.0.0.1/ . On my 
machine (OS X) Flash treats "localhost" as the local domain and 
"127.0.0.1" as the Internet, so won't let you access one from another.

Using the Flash debug player (available for download from Adobe) will 
usually flash up an alert if there's a security issue. Looking at the 
Activity Monitor, or equivalent in your browser, can also help you see 
what's been loaded and what hasn't.

Cc:ing to the potlatch-dev list as there are people there who probably 
know much more about it than I do.

cheers
Richard
