Hello, I am new to the web2py community, and I am so exited to start on my first application.
I have two questions: 1- Can I upload web2py to domain.com ? ( They have gave me some information about their CGI and python support which I posted below my questions, here) 2- What folders do I have to upload to the server to make it work (other than admin, examples, welcome folders) ? Best regards, Tazjel *The following information is from domain.com * The Common Gateway Interface is a way of connecting your web pages to other programs that are running on the server which visitors wouldn't normally have access to. Most corporate web sites on the Internet today make use of CGI programs or scripts to allow their visitors to browse online catalogues or keep track of their orders in real time. You have an ability to use CGI scripts on your website. The subdirectory "webspace/cgi-bin" located in your home directory is intended for storing your cgi files. Before testing that CGI really works, devote a couple of minutes to read the information you might find necessary. Paths and Versions: Perl Version 5.8.1. Path to Perl /usr/bin/perl GID 48 Supported Extensions .pl, .cgi Python Version 2.5.1 Path to Python /usr/local/bin/python Supported Extension .py Supported Modules Base Modules, MySQLdb Path to Sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail Operating System RedHat Linux CGI Directory /cgi-bin/ The URL to your CGIs is as follows: http://domainname/cgi-bin/cgi-script Replace the “domainname” with the real name of your domain and “cgi-script” with the script name. Here are some tips for you to bear in mind when using CGI: • Perl-scripts being transferred via FTP should be in “ASCII” code, not in “binary”. • All scripts are executed only in cgi-bin directory. • After uploading cgi-script change its permission to 755. Use the PEM File Manager to do this quickly.
