Try starting with option -a $ python web2py.py -a secretpassword
The cause of such slow start could be a misconfigured resolver (i.e. dns client configuration of linux machine). Look in /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf. Also check with top/htop if python is eating cpu or memory resources in excess. mic 2013/4/22 Andrea Papotti <[email protected]> > Just downloaded last stable realease of web2py source version (2.4.6) on > my linux machine (Archlinux 64bit on Inter Core2 Duo 2GHz and 4GB RAM). > Launching web2py from console via > > $ python2.7 ./web2py.py > > requires just a little less than 25 second before to show the server > configuration interface (the TK widget) > after inserting the password (the browser is already opened to minimize > delays) it will require (again) about 25 seconds before the page > 127.0.0.1:8000 is served. > > After that, everything works normal with no more delays.
