IPython notebook won't read the configuration file

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?

Where is IPython configuration file?

IPython stores its files—config, command history and extensions—in the directory ~/. ipython/ by default. If set, this environment variable should be the path to a directory, which IPython will use for user data.

Why is my program not running in Jupyter Notebook?

Jupyter doesn't load or doesn't work in the browserTry disabling any browser extensions and/or any Jupyter extensions you have installed. Some internet security software can interfere with Jupyter. If you have security software, try turning it off temporarily, and look in the settings for a more long-term solution.

Why is my Jupyter Notebook not connecting to kernel?

Before we get into the solutions, what is a kernel error? A kernel error occurs basically when you try opening a python 3 file in the wrong directory. The truth is Jupyter and Python are two different software entirely. So, a kernel error occurs when Jupyter fails to connect with a specific version of Python.

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.
