I also will have one version of web2py and simlink my projects to the applications folder.
So for example my web2py blog actually resides in /home/thadeusb/Workspace/Web/ThadeusB/ Here you find the following folders -> docs -> src --> databases/models/controllers/views/static/etc... I have this src folder simlinked to /home/thadeusb/Applications/web2py/applications/thadeusb This way I can access my app with http://127.0.0.1:8000/thadeusb/default/index Other applications follow this same simlink style for development, so my single web2py instance can serve as a dev server for all of my apps. Now when I deploy, each project/app gets its own version of web2py, because different projects will run on different domains, so they need their own web2py. -Thadeus On Sat, Jan 16, 2010 at 5:34 PM, mdipierro <[email protected]> wrote: > In web2py we do not have the concept of a project.
