Well there's not error message right now - but if I move these two lines:
auth = Auth(db)
auth.define_tables(username=True)
back to the beginning of the file (after the from ...) then I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/web2py.app/Contents/MacOS/gluon/restricted.py", line
219, in restricted
exec(ccode, environment)
File
"/Applications/web2py.app/Contents/MacOS/applications/Images/models/db.py",
line 9, in <module>
auth = Auth(db)
NameError: name 'db' is not defined
In what would appear to my (very) untrained eye - if I leave them at the
end of the file then there is no error ... but no authentication either.
