I am able to install .w2p.gz apps using the latest devel version. Also, when he says <application_name> the brackets mean insert a real app name. He just decided to not include his app name to be more understandable for us.

For debugging, personally I would edit the admin app and disable the try:catch statements, to determine the real error. -Thadeus On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 12:26 PM, Yarko Tymciurak <[email protected]> wrote: > On Dec 10, 12:07 pm, jonfroehlich <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I am a new web2py user.
