Hi, I want/need to install web2py on macOS Server. The instructions below seem pretty clear. However, they were written 6+ years ago and macOS , macOS Server and web2py all have evolved since then.
Before putting effort into trying the instructions, I'd greatly appreciate knowing - Does anyone have recent experience installing web2py on macOS Server (my current environment is Sierra, Server 5.3 and, at this point, web2py 2.14.6).
