check your iptables and specific configuration, this is not a webiopi issue

I thinks It's WebIOPi Issue. It may specifics to work with eth0. But what I 
want is let WebIOPi work with wlan0. 

After I try to start it manual with "python3 -m webiopi" command. It print 
traceback bellows. 

================================================

$ python3 -m webiopi

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages/WebIOPi-0.5.3-py3.2-linux-armv6l.egg/webiopi.py", line 94, in getLocalIP
    s.connect(('8.8.8.8', 53))
socket.error: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

================================================

if config looks like this.

# ifconfig

================================================

I configured RPi as Access Point and it works fine. I sets wlan0 to static IP 
(10.0.0.1) and unplugged eth0 off. I can get IP address on client correctly. 
Ping 10.0.0.1 is fine and I can browse home page from Apache (i didn't install 
in this case). So, I don't thing its about iptables.

Well, I'm Java and Objective-C programmer and have no experience with Python. 
You may not necessary to change your code. Just give me some snipped code (or 
Google hint) and tell me where I can hard code to make it work only with wlan0.

Thank again.

Best Regards,
Olarn U.

"mon.wlan0" ... french speaking ?
WebIOPi binds on all IPs/interfaces. The IP shown is just a hint.
Your error is due to a syntax error in exception handling when trying to get 
this hint.
see issue #25, it's fixed on the trunk

Do not change locale on RPi.
