Setup questions

I've got filebazaar installed and running, like so:
$ filebazaar
FileBazaar serving /home/bitcoin/ForSale on port 9678, browse at http://0.0.0.0:9678/
...but when I visit it in my browser, I get a text-only display (rather than a pretty interface as in the readme), and the links don't work. I suppose I have something misconfigured?
_filebazaar.yaml looks like:
---
### Server settings

#port: 9678
host: 0.0.0.0
#url: http://my-url.com
### Lightning Charge

### FileBazaar settings

# Secret for generating HMAC access tokens (required)

# Directory to keep cached preview files

Thanks for your help :)
Are you accessing the webserver through localhost, or is it running on a remote server?
Try setting the url configuration option in _filebazaar.yaml to the same URL you're using to access the web interface with your browser.
It's running on an Ubuntu VPS. I did try that, but it's not putting the port number into the url when I click links, so they're going to port 80 instead, which of course isn't listening.
Oh hey! I put the port number in the url: field and now the links work and there's a style applied to the website! I guess that's what I was missing :)
Sweet! Just sold myself a file! It's working!!
Maybe change the docs to say that if you're hosting on a remote URL to be sure to include [:port] at the end of the url config field?
Awesome! Glad it worked out.
Have you seen the changes in 3567471 (made in response to this issue)? It mentions that the default is http://{host}:{port}/, which hints that you should be including the port number. Do you think that's clear enough, or should I clarify this further?
I didn't see that, but no, the problem is that it doesn't default to http://{host}:{port}; it defaults to http://{host}, it seems to be ignoring the value in port.
I had to explicitly say http://my-url.com:9678 to get it to work.
