I downloaded a fresh copy of the source version, ran it using the default python in OS X, and all ran fine.
I installed Anaconda python 2.7, ran the source version using it, and all ran fine. However, I was able to run the OS X version by executing the Content/MacOS/web2py executable inside of web2py.app via the command line. Then I tried executing that same OS X version by double-clicking the app; it presented me with a different dialog: that it was from an unknown developer, and would not open it. But I could open it from the Security panel of System Preferences, and it worked fine. I next tried to download the same .zip file from a different server (as my ultimate goal is to distribute my appliance via such an executable). That exhibited the problematic behavior that I have reported previously. Lastly, I re-downloaded the zipped-app from the web2py site; opening that (via double-clicking) is now experiencing the behavior previously reported. But I *can* open it via the command line as described above. And after doing so, it will open via double-click. So the "source" of the problem seems to have been trying to download from a different server. WHY that would cause a problem, I haven't a clue. But I could get around it by adding a script to open the execrable directly. - Scott On Saturday, October 29, 2016 at 10:42:08 PM UTC-4, Massimo Di Pierro wrote: > > I would recommend you download Anaconda python 2.7 and run python from > source > http://web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_src.zip > > If it also fails, it may give more info. > > On Tuesday, 25 October 2016 11:55:32 UTC-5, Scott Hunter wrote: >> >> Sure, but there's not much to see. >> >> When I launch the app (after Safari, presumably, has unzipped it), I get: >> >> >> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-pXz7IJFnb64/WA-N_EvItiI/AAAAAAAAAW0/X7FPXoQokSoI1mxDK242IS2zvr8uHtm4QCLcB/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-10-25%2Bat%2B12.48.33%2BPM.png> >> >> I click Open, and (after a little wait) am presented with: >> >> >> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-2p-yxApP7j0/WA-OI_BvwEI/AAAAAAAAAW4/i-nDtzMEDRw36y5EBUP3RGvFedz-vQBLACLcB/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-10-25%2Bat%2B12.48.50%2BPM.png> >> >> If there is something relevant in the Console, it isn't obvious to me. >> >> - Scott >> >> On Tuesday, October 25, 2016 at 10:39:41 AM UTC-4, Roberto Perdomo wrote: >>> >>> I'm using Web2py 2.14.6 in sierra and cannot reproduce your errors. >>> >>> Can you show the errors or warnings? >>> >>> El 25 oct. 2016 10:36 AM, "Scott Hunter" <[email protected]> escribió: >>> >>>> Am I to interpret from the deafening silence that I am the only one >>>> seeing this problem?
