Hi Doug, For local development setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh is probably the way you want to go.
I have not used the other script, web2py-ubuntu.sh but it appears to be startup (init.d) script for Debian based Linux servers. In other words it allows you to automatically start Web2py on bootup of a (production) server and to stop start, and restart Web2py as a service or daemon. It looks to me like the reference to /usr/lib/web2py refers to the daemon directory and not web2py itself. It may be that you would need to set a Web2py path and/or install it using the Debian packaging system as the script does not appear to include any web2py path info. I know that someone in the group was working on a Debian installer for Web2py but I am not sure if it was ever completed. I suspect that most developers just install it using the first script mentioned because this gives you the very latest version of Web2py and everything is located in one directory.

Any thoughts of combining these?
