Hi Team, Thanks a ton for the new features and improvements!
I'm just getting started and was trying to run web2py.exe on Windows 7 after downloading it from http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_win.zip (2.0.2 stable). However, ran into this error: ****************************** D:\web2py>web2py -S welcome Traceback (most recent call last): File "web2py.py", line 16, in <module> File "gluon/__init__.py", line 15, in <module> File "gluon/globals.py", line 24, in <module> File "gluon/serializers.py", line 11, in <module> File "gluon/languages.py", line 264, in <module> File "gluon/languages.py", line 250, in read_possible_plurals WindowsError: [Error 3] The system cannot find the path specified: 'D:\\web2py\\gluon\\contrib\\rules/*.*' ****************************** Then, realized there was no folder called "gluon" in the extracted folder. I downloaded the source from http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_src.zip and copied the "gluon" folder from this source code to the previous web2py folder. This solved the error and was able to web2py GUI. Hope this helps. Regards, Sridhar On Thursday, August 30, 2012 9:11:34 AM UTC+5:30, Massimo Di Pierro wrote: > > After 5 months. It is done.
