AS I said,I know only two host options where you can simply put the files there and everything runs without the need of configuration. ['Google App Engine', 'webfaction']
In other shared hosts you need to follow some deployment instruction: I guess this slice works for godaddy http://www.web2pyslices.com/main/slices/take_slice/76 or if you have a VPS you can use deployment script on /scripts folder, or follow this slices (deppending on your VM setup) http://web2pyslices.com/main/slices/take_slice/110 http://web2pyslices.com/main/slices/take_slice/98 Here in Brazil, we have a shared host (kinghost.com.br) that has 'One Click Install for web2py' in control panel, but I dont know any other. In the book http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/11 you can find information needed to setup web2py with wsgi, mod_wsgi and mod_python. Python web apps (indepent of teh framework you are using) works in a different way of PHP or ASP applications. Do you know exactly what is the setup provided by GoDaddy? Python Version, Linux Distro?
