Are you using 2.14.1 beta? I would try to get it running without changes before making changes (unless you have a need to get it running on an old version of web2py). As Massimo pointed out, it's not necessarily backward compatible but other than removing host_names (which I already did in the repo) I don't see why it wouldn't work on an older version (I also had to remove formstyle from appconfig to support an older version).
I just installed a clean version using git clone https://github.com/mjbeller/web2py-starter.git starter into 2.14.1 beta (actually current master) and then accessed /initialize/adminuser <http://127.0.0.1:8000/starter2/initialize/adminuser> to setup Admin user and auth_groups and everything worked fine. I'm still getting an odd error on 2.13.x which I can't figure out but I'm content to move forward with just 2.14.1 On Wednesday, March 23, 2016 at 8:02:51 PM UTC-4, Ron Chatterjee wrote: > > Got it.
