when you install or upgrade web2py zip the welcome app into a welcome.w2p and uses this file from that moment on. If you make changes to the welcome app and you want to use them as scaffolding, you must delete the welcome.w2p file so that wep2py will make a new one. This will break every time you upgrade.
