For starters you command line as listed below says google_appengine/dev_appserver.py /helloworld
But you said you put helloworld in the google_appengine directory which would suggest a command line of google_appengine/dev_appserver.py ./helloworld Not the "." before helloworld I personally wouldn't put you helloworld in google_appengine put it somewhere else and just have the command line point to it much better because when the next version os the sdk comes out you will have to move things T On Apr 2, 11:25 am, bobdob <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everyone > > I'm trying to get Google Appengine up and running on Ubuntu 8.10.
