Find file hosted by python server - python-3.x

I have a localhost:5000 port that is hosted by python3 server in ubuntu. How to i know which file it serves without knowing anything extra?
I am using lsof -i :5000 and i only know that it is hosted by python 3.
I am trying to locate the file/folder hosted by that that without any extra knowledge given. The thing i know that yes, there is some file being hosted at port 5000 using python3. But i dunno what is the name of the file hosted and which directory it is located.
Is that possible and what command do i need to get all file/folder hosted by it?

Serving Node.js files from a LXC Turnkey container -Apache configuration needed?

I hope that I will not waste everyone's time, nor embarrass myself, but please hear/read my problem. I am new to this, so please bear with me.
Someone at work wrote a crude code in Node.js and I can see the .html files by having localhost: 8080 as the URL in the browser, while having the VisualStudio starting the npm with npm start command. Am I explaining this clear enough?
The webpages are displayed and all, but now comes the hurdle.
How can i have those pages served from a a Linux server?
If by analogy, I put some.html page inside the /var/www/ in a Apache server, pointing to the server's IP/somepage.html i can visualise it, what needs to be set up on a similar Node.js server?
Where do I have to put those files, inside what directory and what configuration is needed?
I thought to create a small LXC container and have those files and services saved as a template, but first I need to set this up correctly. Can Apache serve those files, do I have to make another configuration first?
I have those files served from a Windows machine from local host, and put the same files in a /node ,/opt/ www directory in a Linux machine, but no dice.

NodeJS cPanel Hosting

I set up a NodeJS API on cPanel using the NodeJS setup that is provided. the app starts but none of my endpoints are reachable with 404 pages being displayed.
In the cPanel > metrics > errors I can see the error: Path for NodeJS application is invalid: /home/username/repositories/repo
where username is the cpanel username and repo is the server.
I used the built in git support in cPanel to link to a remote repo via SSH. This part is most likely not the problem since I can see the actual server files referenced in the NodeJS server with the correct path (which is why this error message is so strange.)
The server works fine on localhost so this likely has something to do with cPanel.
I have never hosted a node app on cPanel and I know a VPS would be better but this is what I have to work with for now. There isn't a lot of discussions/forums/docs on this online so I am running out of options.
I would highly appreciate it if someone can tell me what is wrong or guide me in the right direction for where to start looking for the problem.
I solved the problem. When you don't use a git repo you can use a relative path from your home to the place the server is stored. i.e. don't include home/username/ in the path
for git repos you must use the absolute path meaning
home/username/repositories/yourserver
where "username" is your cPanel username and "yourserver" is the name of the folder where your server is located

How can I use (Node) Livereload on a development server in my network

Background: My PHP projects (CakePHP, Wordpress) run on an Ubuntu server in my network, I access them through a development TLD (.dev for example) setup through a local DNS server and I edit the files through a Samba share.
I would like to utilize Livereload for my development, preferably have it running on the server itself. I have basic Node/Gulp knowledge, but haven't been able to get this running.
Livereload (or a middleware server) should proxy the 'real' URLs, making sure all websites run as they would normally and Livereload should be available over the network (so not just localhost, because that runs on the development server)
Desired result:
Livereload runs on my dev server (IP: 10.0.0.1), my project is called helloworld.dev, I browse to 10.0.0.1:3000 on my machine and see helloworld.dev proxied through Livereload. I now edit a CSS file over the Samba share and the CSS is reloaded without a refresh.
I've tried using a few NPM packages, gulp-livereload, livereload, node-livereload, with their provided examples that come with the packages, but haven't been able to get the desired result. They all expect you to run in locally, don't support access to the Livereload URL over the network, cannot proxy the 'real' URLs or require static content.
Can anyone provide an example or 'proof of concept' code of my wish, so I can see where to start?
I found the answer: http://nitoyon.github.io/livereloadx/
This does EXACTLY what I need.
I can run
livereloadx -y http://helloworld.dev -l
open
http://serverip:35729
and I'm ready to roll.
The -y option creates the proxy to the 'real' URL and the -l makes it serve files from local filesystem instead of through its proxy.

noVNC Multiple Localhost Servers

Ive got 4 dev VMs for four projects (all VMware Player VMs w/ubuntu 15.04 host) where each is running VNC (ports 5900, 5901, 5902, 5903) respectively.
I downloaded noVNC and saved to /var/www/html (my apache2 server on same host). Based on the ReadMe I then ran on my terminal
./utils/launch.sh --vnc localhost:5900
I received a missing websockify error, so downloaded it and placed it into the util folder. I then ran the same command and it worked! The terminal told me to Navigate to a url and sure enough I could control my VM.
However -- I'm wondering how can I use noVnc to access all 4 VM's? Is there some simple way to extend the port to a range like in iptables or firewalld?
./utils/launch.sh --vnc localhost:5900-5903
Okay, Ill answer for myself here in case it helps someone in the future...
First, create a token file where each line has a nickname, ip address, and port.
I created a file named token.list where each line looks like:
localhostnickname1: localhost:5900
localhostnickname2: localhost:5901
...
Then I use my terminal to go into the websockify folder so I can see the run file. I issue it the command:
./run --web /path/to/noVNC --target-config /path/to/token.list localhost:6080
Finally, I open my web browser and go to :
http://localhost:6080/vnc_auto.html?path=?token=localhostnickname1
Where localhost1 is the nickname of my first server on the first line of token.list
This link was my reference. If you want to serve this outside of localhost -- change the parameter localhost:8060 from localhost to an IP

Web2Py on AWS EC2 Linux

I have an instance running Linux at Amazon AWS EC2 after carefully following the instructions provided by Amazon here: Setting Up to Host a Web App on AWS.
I have set-up the security groups as mentioned in the documentation provided by Amazon.
The default security group has all traffic, all protocols, on all ports open.
In addition to the above security rule, I have setup SSH on port 22 and then, using CyberDuck (a great FTP app), I have uploaded the Web2Py source code into a folder named web2py at AWS.
After successfully FTP the source code into this web2py folder, I have SSH'ed into the AWS machine using the Terminal (on Mac locally) having the my-keys-file.pem on hand:
ssh -i my-keys-file.pem ec2-user#ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.compute-1.amazonaws.com
(where the xx are the numbers in the Public DNS as they appear on my instance on EC2 page)
Then I have checked whether my AWS instance has python installed and it does have it.
Thus, I have proceeded to install Web2Py.
python2.6 web2py.py
password = pwd
it warns that GUI not available since Tlk library is not installed, but Massimo says here (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.web2py/129181) that it's not critical.
Running the Web2Py ....
If I try:
python web2py.py -a pwd -i 0.0.0.0 -p 80
It says:
there is an error with the Rocket Server with that specific port (used by another process that is not willing to share...)
If I try:
python web2py.py -a pwd
it says nothing (which begs the question: is web2py running ?) and when I try to access the web2py server
http://ec2-xx-xx-xx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com/
or
https://ec2-xx-xx-xx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com/admin
in both cases it says page is not available since it takes too long to access it (nothing about security cause).
If I try:
python web2py.py -a pwd -i 0.0.0.0 -p 8000
again - it says nothing (is web2py running ?)
trying to access the Web2Py server at
http://ec2-xx-xx-xx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com/
or
https://ec2-xx-xx-xx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com/admin
in both cases it says page is not available, same as above.
I have tried to use the IP address instead, but it is immediately translated to the amazon format of ec2-xx-xx-xx-xxx.etc...
I have tried to access web2py by explicitly mentioning the port (8000) in the address - still it doesn't work while giving no reason except page is not available
My questions:
Is there any DETAILED recipe on how to install AND run Web2Py on AWS EC2 ?
Is the web2py server running ? How can I know if it is running ? If it is not - what am I doing incorrectly ?
If the web2py server is running how can I access it ?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
I have deployed my Web2py to an EC2 instance running Ubuntu, but I guess you can adapt the same approach to your system.
The simplest way to deploy Web2py is following the 'One step production deployment' script introduced in the official Web2py book.
wget http://web2py.googlecode.com/hg/scripts/setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh
chmod +x setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh
sudo ./setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh
Running this will install and configure everything you need.
When finished, simply type your IP or domain name into a web browser and you will see the default web2py website.
