Hi Niphlod,
Here is my report on your suggestion:
> BTW3: to pass around an app just log into admin and hit "create package"
> (or tar.gz the entire applications/myapp folder and load it locally with
> "upload package")
On webfaction-web2py-admin:
for myapp clicked the "Pack all" button & downloaded
"web2py.app.myapp.w2p" to myLocalMachine
On myLocalMachine in web2py-admin :
1. deleted myapp
2. in Upload and install packed application:
1. Application name: myapp
2. Upload a package: path-to/ web2py.app.myapp.w2p
3. Or Get from URL: <LEFT BLANK>
4. [ ] Overwrite installed app # left this checkbox UNCHECKED
5. Clicked "Install"
6. Flash said: application myapp installed with md5sum:
7632e93e985802371a0071a4daca49c7
TO TEST
1. Tried logging in with all 4 {email, pw} sets that work on webfaction:
RESULT:
myLocalMachine COULD NOT LOGIN - returning to the login page without
comment.
webfaction LOGINS JUST FINE
2. There is one user on webfaction waiting registration approval. Testing
that {email,pw} RESULT
myLocalMachine COULD NOT LOGIN - returning to the login page without
comment.
webfaction FLASH RESPONSE - "Registration is pending approval"
3. Inspecting myLocalMachine in Database Administration RESULT:
a. all 5 of the users on webfaction are also on myLocalMachine
b. all 5 of the users on myLocalMachine have passwords that begin with
"pbkdf2(1000,20,sha512)$"
4. On myLocalMachine in Database Administration,
a. I click [ insert new auth_user ] and insert
First name: local
Last name: user
E-mail: [email protected]
Password: localuserpw
Registration key: none
Reset Password key: none
Registration identifier: none
b. RESULTS:
1. flash response: new record inserted
2. Password for [email protected] begins with
"pbkdf2(1000,20,sha512)$" NOT "sha512" as in my original post.
3. On myLocalMachine, when i try to login with { [email protected],
localuserpw} - COULD NOT LOGIN
- it returned to the login page without comment.
OK so I think I still need some help with "fix"ing CRYPT differences
between Windows and Linux.
Thanks in advance.
Love and peace,
Joe
