Dear Christopher and All, Something like you, Christopher, suggested was also suggested by the Webfaction Support folks. This suggestion worked for me, after I had investigated some other possibilities.
You can read my blog post on this subject, "Fixing my "my web2py is unable to create a new application on WebFaction" problem", which references THIS web2py-users thread for "a full discussion of the problem". Here is the link http://joecodeswell.blogspot.com/2011/02/fixing-my-my-web2py-is-unable-to-create.html Thanks for the help.
