Referring to what Leonel Câmara wrote above, I believe I have to copy the routes.example.py from the default app into the top level web2py folder before this will work. Due to the fact that I had not put a routes.py file in the top level folder, there must be a part of web2py that says if no app is specified, then look for init app followed by welcome app. > > >> Since web2py can serve several different applications from one instance >> or installation of web2py is there a way to have a menu of all the >> different applications? >> For example, myapp1, myapp2, etc. would be displayed somehow at the top >> of each page in each app. How would that be done? >> > > There is nothing built-in for that -- you would simply have to code some > kind of helper function to generate the menu and include it in the layout > of each app. > > Lastly, I was looking at the different directories in each application and >> was unsure what the difference is between the Modules folder and Plugins? >> > > Modules are just a place you can put standard Python modules that are > specific to your app. Plugins are described here: > http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/12/components-and-plugins#Plugins > . > Do I use pip install or the conda command? I don't think so because that does not (easily) give us control over where the module is placed.
