Hello Simon,
where does your localhost point to ?? ... does it point to the web2py
directory ?? .. how did you configure your wsgi ? ..
If you used the script that configures the "www-data user & group" script
under the home folder than you will be able to do the following to have php
running in no time !
I am assuming that you have LAMP up & running ( or was previously running
before web2py install ) under the var/www folder ( Mint has the same
configuration as Ubuntu ! )
and I am also assuming that localhost takes you directory to the web2py (
the www-data/web2py installation directory ) and web2py runs fine !
now : go to your etc/apache2/sites-available folder, you must have a
default file and a default-ssl file ! + any other site folders you may have
defined before !
you'll need to define a new file - call it for example webroot.local or
webroot.loc or whatever !
an example would be ( let's suppose you called it localwebroot ) ... so in
the file you should have this :
<VirtualHost localwebroot:80>
ServerName localwebroot
ServerAlias www.localwebroot
DocumentRoot /var/www/
</VirtualHost>
and in this case, when you type in your browser localwebroot in a browser ,
it will take you to whatever content there is in /var/www
it will be the name of your new local domain where you want your LAMP stuff
to work from ... make it point to var/www/ or anywhere else you want, like
home/username/public_html for example or else !
and you will be set ..
oupsss ...
DO NOT forget to correctly update the "hosts" file in etc/
AND then run the utility "a2ensite" so all the symbolic links will be done
for you instead of doing it manually
You have to do these two steps and then it will work !
