FYI - If you name your default app as init, you do not need the welcome rewrite rule...
By default, web2py looks for existence of an app called init; if it is not found, it looks for "welcome". Init does not show up as part of the URL, so for example if you browse from welcome to examples, you see myweb2py.wherever.net/welcome/examples/default/index but if you copy welcome to init, and then start web2py, and browse to examples, your browser url will show: myweb2py.wherever.net/examples/default/index (no "init" in the url) On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 3:03 PM, Jonathan Lundell <[email protected]> wrote: > > This deployment recipe requires Apache with mod_proxy and mod_rewrite. > It runs the welcome (or some other) web2py application with the admin > interface disabled (no password). > > 1.
