Yes, you can. Assuming you're using the "cherrypy.quickstart" function, supply the "base url" in the "script_name" argument; for example: sn = 'http://www.provider.com:8080/~myusername/apps' cherrypy.quickstart(Root(), sn, config) If you're using cherrypy.tree.mount instead of quickstart, it takes a similar argument. > 2) If you run (as in Unix): > > cd app1 > python mycherrypyapp1.py & > > cd ../app2 > python mycherrypyapp2.py & > > Does this start 2 cherrypy servers, trying to both fight > for port 8080, or is there only one, and the two apps share it? This will almost certainly start two cherrypy servers. You can run one on a different port via a "server.socket_port" config entry if you like. If you want them both to run on the same port but different "base urls", you should write a small "mysite.py" which mounts them as desired; for example: # mysite.py import cherrypy import app1, app2 cherrypy.tree.mount(app1.root, "/app1") cherrypy.tree.mount(app2.root, "/app2") cherrypy.server.quickstart() cherrypy.engine.start() cherrypy.engine.block() > I didn't see a CherryPy mailing list, so I'm posting here, > but if there is somewhere else better I'd be glad to know! There is a cherrypy-users mailing list, and I'm CC'ing it so you can reply there if you like. :) Hope that helps!
