When a request comes, the dispatch.fcgi is executed which contains
this:
#!/usr/local/bin/python2.6
import os
import sys
os.chdir('/home/user/www/web2py')
path=os.path.normpath('/home/user/www/web2py/')
if not path in sys.path: sys.path.append(path)
import gluon.main
import gluon.contrib.gateways.fcgi as fcgi
application=gluon.main.wsgibase
if __name__ == '__main__':
from gluon.contrib.gateways.fcgi import WSGIServer
WSGIServer(application).run()
I create a domain pointer to /home/user/www.web2py so when I go to:
www.mydomain.com
it goes to the welcome page of web2py (runs the welcome app).
In order to run my app, I must to do this:
www.mydomain.com/myapp
Of course I can rename my app to init (so it can run automatically)
but what
happens if I have two apps that need to be served from different
domains?
Is there a way for routes.py to understand which request comes from
that domain so it should serve that app?
