If "init" exists, that is the default application; if not, and "welcome" exists, that is the default application... This is how you get websurfers who go to http://x.y.z
The port you can setup from the command line (at startup;); For Apache setup - you can search Apache on http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/AlterEgo/ Installation instructions for webfaction, for example, are here http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/AlterEgo/default/show/164 Links for other hosting services are at https://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/web2py_wiki/default/wiki/hosting In general, you want to setup mod_wsgi - search the group posts, e.g.: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/11630a5690da257d/d766b612fcb8c94b There are other deployment recipes in the book... (e.g. GAE) Others will chime in, but hopefully this will get you started. NOTE: Admin (for security reasons) only works on local connections. For running admin remotely, see http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/AlterEgo/default/show/68 Regards, Yarko On Sun, Dec 28, 2008 at 7:35 PM, paratracker <[email protected]> wrote: > > Starting up python2.5 web2py.py cannot be all there is to getting > web2py up on a hosted machine.
