Hi, Like Thadeus, I got web2py "working" on webfaction. Well, I went so far as having the web2py welcome page open when I point the browser to the site.
>From there, I would be very glad if some people could help me figure out the answer to some of these questions: - I cannot log into the admin (what password am I supposed to use anyway?) - how should I proceed to replace the default web2py application by my own app? - is it possible to have more than one application working on one domain? or spread them to subdomain? Thanks in advance!
