If you drop the entire db (not using web2py), you should delete all the /databases/*.table files -- there is one such file for each table containing metadata about that table (based on migrations done by web2py). If you make changes to the db from outside web2py, those files will no longer be consistent with the state of the db. When you drop the whole db, just delete those files. > The syntax error in the email message code is due to post editing, whereas > in the code I check that there is no extra space after '\'.

If the email sending fails, the register function should rollback the db transaction (so you shouldn't see a new record in the db), and it should set response.flash to auth.messages.unable_send_email. Are you sure no email is being sent? Maybe it's getting flagged as spam. Anthony
