Hello Miguel, I am sorry you are having problems with Apache.
First of all let me say that web2py requires programming. If you prefer to use a system that does not require programming like Joomla and if that works for you, that use Joomla. If instead you require programming (for example you need to implement your own forms and workflow) than you need web2py and in Joomla things will only be more complex. Anyway, you should make your decision based on Apache problems. There is no reason to. They both interact with apache in more or less the same way. Can you tell us more about your apache setup? specifically can we see the virtual host you use for web2py? Do find an error in the apache log?
