Thanks for the quick reply Tim, I tried your suggestion (I left the "helloworld" directory in the "google_appengine" directory for now, just to make sure I could get it up and running before I move the "helloworld" directory).
Unfortunately, things are still not working out. I must be doing something wrong because I'm following the tutorial exactly as described in the docs and everyone says it's the easiest thing (and it looks like they're all right). I'm currently typing and getting the following in my terminal: ch...@chris-laptop:~$ google_appengine/dev_appserver.py ./helloworld ERROR:root:Application configuration file not found in ./helloworld What I've noticed is that my "app.yaml" file says it's a plain text document in the "properties" so maybe the appengine SDK isn't recognizing it as the necessary configuration file and throws that error message? I've tried creating the file from scratch and saving it from 3 different text editors: gedit, gvim, and emacs and none seem to produce any different results.
