Thanks very much Anthony for all your help with this one. I copied the exact code you posted but nothing changed.
I wonder if this has to do with having multiple apps in the web2py directory. I just can't fix this issue no matter what I do. Btw, even if I was to manage somehow to get rid off the "init", is it possible to have this URL *mysite.com/robot.txt* - probably not possible, right? Even on the link you sent, it would be *mysite.com/default/robot.txt *- which means the search engines wouldn't find it. But, I can't even get rid of the "init", which is frustrating. I asked about this on pythonanywhere, but they don't know. They say it's a web2py issue.
