Al,
You'd want to get rid of the "edit" " menu when you "Go Live" that's
just there as a convenience while you're creating things. Just use
this (or remove response.menu_edit from menu.py which does it once &
for all):
response.menu_edit = None
If you don't want auth menu either do
response.menu_auth = None
If you want to use the built-in server and be able to access on both
port 80 and port 443 (SSL) without running two web2py server instances
you could perhaps use a tunnel program like stunnel (www.stunnel.org).
Set it up to listen on port 443 (or really any port) and re-direct to
localhost:80. This way you should be able to get at admin and tickets
- as far as web2py is concerned you're accessing from the local
machine so tickets should work, but because it's tunneled it's also
secured as it goes to your remote computer.
To get the general user to automatically go to http://myserver/myfirstapp
when they type in http://myserver/ you can either work with routes or
just take the lazy route and replace the welcome app's default/index
with a redirect to whatever the home page of myfirstapp is. Of course
this will break the welcome app, but do you really want/need it when
deployed anyway?
#in the Welcome application's default.py controller
def index():
redirect(URL(a='myfirstapp', c='default', f='index'))
Setting up web2py as a Windows Service is easy enough:
