Since you are talking about shared hosting I assume you are using a
third party like a web server, for example apache.
If you have multiple installation your web server (apache) needs
somehow to be able to discriminate which one you one you want to talk
to. This can be done using the hostname (different virtual hosts), via
appname (/app1/default/index go to web2py1 and /app2/default/index
goes to web2py2), or by prepending a prefix to the appname (/web2py1/
app/default/index goes to web2py1 and /web2py2/app/default/default/
index goes to web2py2).
In all of these cases routes can be used to add or remove parts of the
url received by web2py.
If you have a single application a single web2py installation you can
do
routes_in=(('/index','/myapp/default/index'),)
to do the mapping you ask.
