Hi Noel, I had this problem occur AGAIN, TODAY on WebFaction, when I upgraded to Version 1.99.7 (2012-03-04 22:12:08) stable, Running on Apache/2.2.17 (Unix) mod_wsgi/3.3 Python/2.7.3. When creating a new simple app from the web admin interface i get "unable to create application "newapp" (it may exist already)"
I checked and there is NO *welcome.w2p *in the *web2py* directory. Here are the ssh commands i used. $ cd PATH/w2py/apache2/bin $ ./stop $ cd ../.. $ rm web2py_src.zip $ wget -q http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_src.zip $ unzip -q web2py_src.zip replace web2py/gluon/__init__.py? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: A $ cd PATH/w2py/apache2/bin $ ./start $ cd ../.. $ cd web2py $ ls anyserver.py gaehandler.py options_std.py setup_exe.py appengine_config.py gluon parameters_80.py setup.py app.example.yaml __init__.py queue.example.yaml site-packages applications isapiwsgihandler.py README splashlogo. gif cgihandler.py LICENSE router.example.py VERSION CHANGELOG logging.example.conf routes.example.py web2py.py deposit logs scgihandler.py wsgihandler. py epydoc.conf Makefile scripts epydoc.css modpythonhandler.py setup_app.py fcgihandler.py NEWINSTALL setup_exe_2.6.py Is the *welcome.w2p *file missing in Version 1.99.7? How can it be replaced? I'll start up a new topic entitled "Is the *welcome.w2p *file missing in Version 1.99.7? " Thanks for the help.
