Hi Maurice, Based on
http://www.bioinformatics.org/refgene Routes to http://www.bioinformatics.org/welcome/default/index Rather than http://www.bioinformatics.org/refgene/welcome/default/index It seems that the responsible one for this routing is your web server, rather than web2py. As we don't know your setup, nginx? Apache? How you installed it, web2py's scripts? Yourself? Another admin/shared servers? Can't help much further... In addition, the code you have in routes.py may be incorrect. It should look something like: routers = dict( BASE = dict( default_controller = 'default', default_function = 'index' ) ) Rather than BASE='some string'. I suggest to not touch routes.py until the server redirects are correctly setup.
