I understand it is a primitive system, but also a quick way to put a website behind a login. I do not want to integrate an authentication system, because it is only for some betatesters before the website goes live.

[web2py] web2py apache2 setup with htaccess authorization
I come from a PHP background and when I wanted to have a website (or a part) behind a login screen (for example for beta testing) I could do that with a htaccess and htpasswd file (with Apache2). I have deployed a web2py website with Apache2, but I can not figure out how to have this website behind an Apache2 login. Is that possible with a web2py with Apache2 setup with a htaccess file? Or is there an alternative way to do in with web2py? Thanks in advance. Regards, Chris -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.

[web2py] Re: Code changes not honored (by web2py?)
Tried this at the top of db.py and at the top of my controller to no avail. (I replaced the 'from gluon.custom_import import track_changes; track_changes()' with your code). I guess the persistence of the instantiation is because the interpreter is started once when starting web2py webserver (maybe this does not occur when using apache2 or lighttpd?).

[web2py] Re: Code changes not honored (by web2py?)
Because I do not know the name of the module beforehand (it comes from a database). 'import class2' does not work either, I still need to reload() the module. I discovered also that the instantiation of class2 is persistant between requests when I do not reload the modules. I initialize a list in class1 and then add data from the database to this list. With every request the list grows with the same data from the database so I end up with a load of duplicate data in the list. I have to say that I am quite new to Python, so maybe this persistence is a Python thing...

[web2py] Re: Code changes not honored (by web2py?)
Python 2.7.3 Web2py 2.2.1 The situation: In modules directory I have a subdirectory with two files class1.py and class2.py. This is a package (empty __init__.py is present). class2.py imports class1.py and Class2 inherits from Class1. My controller dynamically imports class2 with the function __import__(class2). On top of my db.py model I call the track_changes part. The modules do not seem to be updated if I change code in class1.py or class2.py. I have solved it for now by reloading all the modules with reload() after I import them. So after I dynamically import class2 in my controller I call reload(class2). In class2.py after the import of class1 I call reload(class1). This is the only way I get the code changes to work in both files. It seems that the track_changes part is not working in this situation or something? Or is there another solution?

[web2py] Re: Code changes not honored (by web2py?)
No, I am not using Ajax callbacks. I have done some more research, but I could be a Python thing as well. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/437589/how-do-i-unload-reload-a-python-module http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2918898/prevent-python-from-caching-the-imported-modules The common most reliable answer seems to be to restart the python interpreter, thus to restart web2py webserver. Or is there a way web2py's webserver can automatically reload when code changes in modules (it seems Django does it that way)? Or has web2py solved this in another way?

[web2py] Code changes not honored (by web2py?)
Sometimes the changes in the code of a module (in the modules directory) are not working when requesting the url that uses these modules. in the modules directory I have a subdirectory with python files that form a package (__init__.py file in this subdirectory). I have added from gluon.custom_import import track_changes track_changes() in the first model that gets called, but still sometimes code changes are not working. I noticed that the py-files in the modules dir get compiled to pyc-files. But at one point (it looks to be randomly) these are not compiled anymore when I change code in the py-files. But even when I remove these pyc-files, the code changes are still not working when requesting the url. Am I missing something? Is there a cache I can clear or something? I now have to restart web2py to make the code changes work... Thanks. Regards, Chris --
Re: [web2py] Database table prefix
No, in some specific cases I can not create another db, because of restrictive permissions of client systems. In worst case I will have to search and replace prefixes in the files.

Re: [web2py] Database table prefix
Well, ideal for me would be to define a prefix in the model file and this is automatically added to every defined table and all queries (no idea if it is possible). But this multi-tenancy looks interesting as well, so I will look into it... Thanks!

Hi, I am new to web2py and am migrating an application to web2py. All the tables have a prefix that changes for the different deployments of the application. Is there a way in web2py to have a prefix for all the tables in the database that I can change easely for different deployments?
