did a netstat -o at the command prompt, showed that pid on 8000 was 1088 went to task manager, enabled pid view option, saw that 1088 was eclipse.exe
Aha - I have you now! Looks like because I launch web2py from eclipse, I contend with eclipse trying to use port 8000. When I close eclipse and launch web2py from explorer, she worky fine. So why suddenly is eclipse using port 8000 or is it using it on behalf of web2py. Me no understandy. but workaround when launching from eclipse is change to port 8001 in start server dialog. I can live with that. Anything to have my web2py :) Yummmmm. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
