Here are some tips & tricks to running CherryPy to your fullest.

Running a Server & a Client

If you are running a server and a client one option for you is to duplicate all your images in both installs.  You can then have your server running as a CherryPy host and set the Clients settings so it will reach for your servers port.  Because CherryPy will return the url as http://Your IP:Port/webfiles always, as long as the images have the same name you will load them from the server computer.

Creating a Server Home

You can now create a server home page with CherryPy.  It is extremely easy!!  Just drop down you HTML code into a folder in the web files directory and your done!  All you need to do is reference the web page just as you reference images.  Be sure to include the file name as well, or CherryPy will return a 'Not Found' to the user.

More Advanced: It has not been tested but I would suspect that CherryPy will allow you to run PHP scripts if you have PHP installed on your computer.  You might then be able to create a forums that runs right off your OpenRPG Server!!

Cool Stuff!! Do you have a software that lets you turn you character sheet into HTML? You can forget the online profilers with CherryPy.  Just throw your PC Sheet HTML into a folder in the webfiles directory and reference it from your links.
