title: Started Hue Server, CLI says 8000, config says 8888, in reality: Nothing
body: <p>I have started a Hue Server running on an EC2 instance with a pseudo distributed setup of HDFS. When I start the server, the CLI states that the server is running on <code>localhost:8000</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>0 errors found                                                                                                                                                
  &lt;CURRENT DATE&gt;                                                                                                                                    
  Django version 1.6.10, using settings 'desktop.settings'                                                                                                      
  Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/                                                                                                         
  Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, the config tells it to launch on <code>localhost:8888</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>### hue.ini sample
  
  # Webserver listens on this address and port
  http_host=0.0.0.0
  http_port=8888       
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Cool, whatever. But when I try to access the Hue UI using the EC2's public IP (<code>&lt;public IP&gt;:8000</code> and <code>&lt;public IP&gt;:8888</code>), nothings shows up on neither <code>port 8000</code> nor  <code>port 8888</code>. I've tried to change <code>hue.ini</code> to point to <code>port 8000</code>, which does nothing.</p>
  
  <p>I have created the necessary security groups to allow my machine to access the port.</p>
  
  <p>Here is some of the debugging I have done:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt; sudo netstat -atnp | grep 8000
  tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:8000          0.0.0.0:*              LISTEN      22644/python2.7
  
  &gt;&gt; sudo netstat -atnp | grep 8888
  **NOTHING**
  
  &gt;&gt; lsof -i:8000 
  **NOTHING**
  
  &gt;&gt; lsof -i:8888
  **NOTHING**
  
  &gt;&gt; ps -ef | grep hue
  root    22644    1  0 23:08 pts/0    00:00:18 /usr/local/lib/hue/build/env/bin/python2.7 ./build/env/bin/hue run server
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, nothing is listening on <code>port 8000</code> and <code>port 8888</code>, but Hue's process is running (at least I think). Why is this happening? How can I work around this to access the Hue UI?</p>
