My goal is to use apache with web2py on SL (scientific linux). I've
had trouble and, casting about, I noticed some errors when I run the
fedora setup script recommended in the Book (http://
web2py.googlecode.com/hg/scripts/setup-web2py-fedora.sh.). I include
the troubled sections of the script output at the end.
The problem I see is on starting web2py the first time from the
command line is "Unable to connect, firefox can't establish
connection to server at 127.0.0.1:8000."
Several script problems are caused by a missing space in lines like
"cat > something <<EOF " (~lines 182, 200, 300). When these are
fixed, the issues about __init__.py remain. __init__.py turns out to
be a file in the web-apps/web2py directory.
I do not think this is my real problem however, because early on (with
the EOF's fixed) I blithely installed and connected and got the home
page served by rocket. I cannot repeat that success now. This may be
for another post (like: how do I get back to a clean install?)
Anyway, I thought you might like to know that there could be some
issues with the install script for fedora-like linuxes, and maybe a
fix for the __init__.py stuff really will get me going.
Here is the output of the script in the areas of trouble:
