Thanks for your reply, but for some reason it is not working as stated. I'm probably missing something. import cherrypy from cherrypy import expose class HelloWorld: @expose def hello(self,*another): if not another: return("hello") else: return("hello: %s" % str(another)) @expose def index(self): return "Hello world!" # at first I tried cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld()) which works, off of http://localhost:8080/ and http://localhost:8080/hello and http://localhost:8080/hello/more_stuff works fine. # so then I tried each of these (separately, of course)... baseurl='http://localhost:8080/~bblais/apps' cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld(),baseurl) # then baseurl='http://localhost:8080/bblais/apps' cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld(),baseurl) # finally, root=HelloWorld() cherrypy.tree.mount(root,'apps/') cherrypy.server.quickstart() cherrypy.engine.start() cherrypy.engine.block() In each case, there is similar behavior. The script runs fine, and the Cherrypy gives the usual startup message, but nothing is printed when I access the above urls. I know something is wrong, because cherrypy doesn't even log the events. Without the baseurl specified, I get things like: 127.0.0.1 - - [23/May/2007:08:56:24] "GET /hello HTTP/1.1" 200 5 "" "" whenever I access the site. Specifying the baseurl, nothing. Two more pieces of info. When I start, I usually get: The Application mounted at '' has an empty config. which is solved by adding a config='hello.conf', where hello.conf is: [global] server.socket_host = "localhost" server.socket_port = 8080 server.thread_pool = 10 even with that, I when I specify a baseurl (say, apps), I get: The Application mounted at 'apps' has an empty config. Is it missing something, that it can't make a default choice on? thanks for your help!
