Dear Massimo, Thanks for the reply. No, there was no ip_hold directory under applications. I may have a permissions problem, but I'm not sure. Here's the history of what i did.
I tried to work around the problem by using the command line. So after the new re-upgrade of web2py i said: [applications]$ cp -R welcome ip_hold [applications]$ ls -l total 28 drwxr-xr-x 15 jdor jdor 4096 Feb 28 12:50 admin drwxr-xr-x 15 jdor jdor 4096 Feb 25 13:23 el drwxr-xr-x 8 jdor jdor 4096 Feb 28 12:50 examples -rw-r--r-- 1 jdor jdor 0 Dec 14 08:45 __init__.py -rw-r--r-- 1 jdor jdor 111 Feb 25 12:21 __init__.pyc drwxrwxr-x 15 jdor jdor 4096 Feb 28 13:26 ip_hold drwxrwxr-x 15 jdor jdor 4096 Feb 28 12:50 welcome drwxr-xr-x 15 jdor jdor 4096 Feb 25 12:21 welcome_mod Then using the web interface again, i tried to add the instant press plugin to the ip_hold application, which now shows up in the web interface. 1. I click edit ip_hold. 2. In ip_hold, under plugins i click choose_file. 3. I select web2py.app.instantpress_beta6.w2p 4. I click upload. At this point the web interface *SWITCHES FROM* editing the ip_hold application *BACK TO* the site view. and pops up a flash that says "App does not exist or your are not authorized". It does seem to be a permission issue but I am a bit lost. I hope I've given enough info to be useful. Thanks in advance for any help.
