Thanks for your reply Jorge,

I have been using Pythonanywhere for a long time as well, hosting 2 very 
simple web2py sites there with no problem.

However, now I am trying to deploy a more complex app there and I have been 
experiencing some issues. I finally uploaded the app using sftp because the 
app was too big to install using the admin.

This is the problem I am having now: I am trying to connect this newly 
installed app to the mysql database, as I did my very first app there a 
long time ago. My first app was very easy to connect to mysql, I just 
replaced the db = DAL() line of code in the wen2py app and it still works 
fine. However, I did the same thing with my new app and it breaks. The 
error ticket is not showing anything and in the error log I found this: 
*ERROR:root:RuntimeError: 
generator ignored GeneratorExit *but this may or may not be the relevant 
error msg as it's reffering to their loadbalancer.

The support advised me this: *"You could try codementor (there's a link at 
the top of the main Forum page) for focussed help." ...*This support answer 
makes me a little bit uncomfortable. 

I am kind of new and I am definitely not an expert in web2py or 
Pythonanywhere. In one of their earlier answers they said that they are not 
*"web2py 
experts"* and I think I would be happier if they were, although my problem 
now is not a web2py issue. My app works flawlessly, in the development 
environment on my computer, thanks to web2py. My app actually works on 
pythonanywhere as well as long as I don't try to change this line: *db = 
DAL('sqlite://storage.sqlite',pool_size=1,check_reserved=['all']). *So, the 
app works on sqlite but I can't connect to their mysql database. This is 
not a web2py issue. I think it might be because the app is too big, over 
800MB, but I am not sure.
