Below is an excerpt from the book -- please note that you should also look
at the -L option:
if you run web2py as Windows Service, -W, it is not convenient to pass the
configuration using command line arguments. For this reason, in the web2py
folder there is a sample "options_std.py" configuration file for the
internal web server:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.

12.

import socket
import os
ip = '0.0.0.0'
port = 80
interfaces=[('0.0.0.0',80)]
#interfaces.append(('0.0.0.0',443,'ssl_private_key.pem','ssl_certificate.pem'))
password = '<recycle>' # ## <recycle> means use the previous password
pid_filename = 'httpserver.pid'
log_filename = 'httpserver.log'
profiler_filename = None
minthreads = None
maxthreads = None
server_name = socket.gethostname()
request_queue_size = 5
timeout = 30
shutdown_timeout = 5
folder = os.getcwd()
extcron = None
nocron = None
This file contains the web2py defaults. If you edit this file, you need to
import it explicitly with the -L command-line option. It only works if you
run web2py as a Windows Service.
