IPython notebook won't read the configuration

问题:

I used the following command to initialize a profile:

ipython profile create myserver

Added thses lines to ~/.ipython/profile_myserver/ipython_notebook_config.py:

c = get_config()
c.NotebookApp.ip = '*'
c.NotebookApp.port = 8889

Tried starting the notebook with:

ipython notebook --profile=myserver --debug

It does not read the config file at all. This is the log output:

[W 16:26:56.607 NotebookApp] Unrecognized alias: '--profile=myserver', it will probably have no effect.
[D 16:26:56.609 NotebookApp] Config changed:
[D 16:26:56.609 NotebookApp] {'profile': u'myserver', 'NotebookApp': {'log_level': 10}}
...
[I 16:26:56.665 NotebookApp] 0 active kernels 
[I 16:26:56.665 NotebookApp] The IPython Notebook is running at: http://localhost:8888/

Since I've explicitly specified port 8889 and it still runs on 8888, it clearly ignores the config file. What am I missing?

回答1:

IPython has now moved to version 4.0, which means that if you are using it, it will be reading its configuration from ~/.jupyter, not ~/.ipython. You have to create a new configuration file with

jupyter notebook --generate-config

and then edit the resulting ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py file according to your needs.

回答2:

Instead of using the ipython command, use jupyter:

jupyter notebook --profile=myserver

With the release of IPython 4.0, the language-agnostic pieces of IPython, such as the notebook server, were moved to Jupyter. You can read more about The Big Split and the new release of Jupyter at those links.
