I have two computers that I work on: a 32-bit netbook and a 64-bit desktop. Sometimes I will rsync my entire working copy of the web2py application I'm working on from one machine to the other, rather than getting a fresh copy. When I do this from the netbook to the desktop, the web2py server starts normally (no error messages), but when I try to access the application, the web browser hangs forever. One really strange side effect is that it also attempts to open a connection to the IP address 64.99.64.32. (I'm not sure what significance this IP has, but if you Google it you see a number of other pieces of software that also appear to use it when things go wrong.)
Anyhow, the first thing I tried -- deleting all the .pyc files -- had no effect, so I did a full diff between the directory tree from the netbook, versus a fresh copy checked out directly to the 64-bit machine, and the only thing that differed was the ./web2py/applications/*/cache/cache.shelve files. I deleted them, and everything worked normally again. Is this a known issue? Is it Python's fault for not knowing that a .shelve file came from the wrong architecture? Or should I just be doing a "make clean" from web2py every time I'm on a different machine (I notice that removing all the cache directories is in there)? ~Felix. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
