When you create an application, there should be a single folder with the
application name inside the /web2py/applications folder. Then, inside the
application folder, you should see folders such as cron, databases, views,
etc. Like this:
/web2py
/applications
/myapp
/cache
/controllers
Are you saying that instead you had these folders directly within the
/applications folder, rather than within a specific application folder --
like this:
/web2py
/applications
/cache
/controllers
