Thank you.  problem fixed.

The line in the guide I followed to set up nginx 
ttps://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-web2py-python-applications-with-uwsgi-and-nginx-on-ubuntu-14-04

in particular

    location ~* /(\w+)/static/ {
        root /home/user/myapp/applications/;
    }

Was wrong.
This is discussed in 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36720259/web2py-nginx-do-i-have-to-set-up-static-folder

The first sentence in the answer is the clue.  That line bypasses web2py.

Thank you both for the help.  This was driving me nuts.
