Hi, despite being a total novice with little or no experience beyond windows I have managed to install web2py on a webfaction shared server. By substituting my webfaction application listening port into the instructions I found here... http://docs.webfaction.com/user-guide/databases.html#starting-an-ssh-tunnel-with-putty I can connect to my web2py application over SSH. Problem is when I try to access admin I get.... " admin disabled because unable to access password file".
I found a lot of references to this error when searching the group but no real answer. There was some talk of admin using port 80 maybe when looking for the password? Another suggestion was that I should have two instances of web2py running on the server but I think that's only necessary if admin has been disabled, which in my case I don't think it has. Either way I don't know how to go about fixing it. Here you can find the web2py install script I used... http://community.webfaction.com/questions/7193/install-web2py-with-nginx-and-uwsgi One last question... Is there any need to access admin on the server? I'm wondering if I can just make changes localy then upload the changes via ftp?
