I think you use the windows web2py distro but to my knowledge you need the win32 extensions which are not packed, as far as I know, in that distro.
In my everyday experience I had no problem to get web2py running as a windows server assured that you have a web2py compatible python version (2.3 ?), Hammond win32 extensions and the usual options.py set up. Of course you can also have problems if a service is running on the same port as Massimo suggested. carlo On 7 Mag, 04:23, weheh <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, I know, this is an issue that has been discussed extensively > here.
