IPython notebook won't read the configuration file

Question

I used the following command to initialize a profile:

ipython profile create myserver

Added thses lines to ~/.ipython/profile_myserve

Answer 1

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.
