I'm helping Maurice with this. We're running Apache on Linux with mod_wsgi. This is a shared host environment where each hosted website is under the user's public_html directory. Normally, we run symlinks from the docroot to the hosted website as follows:
ln -s /path/to/username/public_html/websitename /path/to/httpdocs/ websitename And the URL becomes http://www.bioinformatics.org/websitename In this case, "websitename" is "refgene". 1. http://www.bioinformatics.org/refgene gives me an Invalid request > > > What's the whole message? There should be some details. > That's it. Is there a way to make it more verbose? You want web2py in a directory called web2py. If you write an app called > refgene, it will live in web2py/applications/refgene. Does it matter if the URL contains the name web2py or not? We can name the directory itself anything internally, as long as the URL isn't http://www.bioinformatics.org/web2py. An important part of the hosting is to give a website (refgene) its own URL. --
