Well, I was able to kill the perpetrator (on Fedora "nasd" was taking
port 8000) and started web2py using the default port.
The demodb app runs fine now.
I am still trying to figure out how to configure web2py to  use
database drivers other than SQLite3.
I already have firebird server installed on my machine. But I guess I
need some configuration parameter so the web2py can find it.
Can anyone help?
