- that's a *lot* given it's a technical manual rather than a light bedtime
read. Instead I'm working through the examples because I learn better that
way: http://www.web2py.com/examples/default/examples
in the first case, it is saying there is no index/index.html view in the
> /views folder
I disagree. It's saying "invalid view". That *could* mean that it doesn't
exist, but from a English-language perspective, it could mean countless
other things as well including that there's something wrong with it. HTTP
has header response codes - if it's missing it ideally would return a 404.
If there's something wrong it should be returning a 500, etc.

I have and I believe I understand how to. The reason I tried * /views/index*is
because that's what Annet said (or how I read her post anyway).
======
So, I've now started again. Process:
1) "New Simple Application" - Name - "Test2"
2) "Manage" -> Edit
3) Create a controller called *controller.py*. Using the editor I put this
in it (from example 3):
def hello3():
return dict(message=T("Hello World"))
4) Create a view called *view.html*, put this in it:
<h1>hello world</h1>
<h2>{{=message}}</h2>
5) Go to this URL:
http://localhost:8000/test2/controller/hello3
And it works.
Except it also includes all the other gumpf from the default example - why?
In my previous examples I'd deleted all the extra files. I've now done that
again (absolutely everything deleted except those files. Now I'm back to
the error:
invalid view (controller/hello3.html)
So why can't I delete stuff? And/or what is it using the layout stuff when
it's not specified?
I thought deleting everything was OK based on a post I read by Massimo here
somewhere.
Thanks.
