For the first 2 questions, it will be helpful if you tell us what OS your web2py is running under, and if a network drive (or "share") is involved. That said, I have never had the problem of files from one application interfering with another, but most of my "multiple application" servers are really only serving one application except for a few experimental accesses. For the 3rd question, I'd say that web2py is a better environment for beginners than most environments are. You should be able to manage both your test tubes and a simple site. The only way to be safer (in the "I'm not a programmer and don't play one on TV" sense) that I know of would be to do one of those sites the phone companies seem to be pushing, where you don't do much more than paste text and upload pictures. /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
