I am planning to sign up for a Plan Shared 1 hosting account at
WebFaction for production purposes. So far, I have been developing an
application on my Mac, on which the web2py source code runs out of the
box, and testing it on a Mac Server which I access using Apple Remote
DeskTop. I read the post below, and wonder whether there have been any
changes since it was posted. Further more I have some questions about
it. Step 1 to 3 are clear to me. However, step 4 is a bit cryptic to
me:
Get the latest web2py and copy it into ~/webapps/apachewsgi/:
cd ~/repos/svn #for example
svn checkout http://web2py.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ web2py-read-
only
svn export web2py-read-only ~/webapps/apachewsgi/web2py
Do I access my account using SSH and run these commands?
cd ~/repos/svn #for example
Means change directory to ~/repos/svn why '# for example'?
svn checkout http://web2py.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ web2py-read-only
Here I get the latest copy of web2py? Why web2py-read-only?
svn export web2py-read-only ~/webapps/apachewsgi/web2py
... and copy it into ~/webapps/apachewsgi/ why ~/webapps/apachewsgi/
web2py?
On my Mac Server I uploaded the web2py source code from my Mac into my
home folder using sftp and opened web2py_src.zip using the archive
utility, can't I do something similar at WebFaction?
Edit ~/webapps/apachewsgi/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
How do I do that at WebFaction do they provide a texteditor in which
you open the httpd.conf file?
from another terminal, kill web2py process according to web2py's
output instructions
Start your app:
~/webapps/apachewsgi/apach2/bin/start
Here I am completely lost:
from another terminal, kill web2py process according to web2py's
output instructions
What does that mean?
I am apologies for asking so many questions about something as simple
as setting up web2py at WebFaction, but I really haven't got a clue
what some of the instructions are about.
Kind regards,
Annet.
Settting up Web2py as WSGI on Webfaction
Make available two subdomain names, one for adminstration, the other
for public display:
'admin.example.com'
'www.example.com'
Create a webfaction application of type "mod_wsgi 2.0/Python 2.5":
'apachewsgi'
Create two webfaction sites that :
'mysite_admin' -- https enabled; subdomain 'admin.example.com';
application 'apachewsgi' served at '/'
'mysite' -- *not* https enabled; subdomain 'www.example.com';
application 'apachewsgi' served at '/'
Get the latest web2py and copy it into ~/webapps/apachewsgi/:
cd ~/repos/svn #for example
svn checkout http://web2py.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ web2py-read-
only
svn export web2py-read-only ~/webapps/apachewsgi/web2py
Edit ~/webapps/apachewsgi/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
see listing below
in the httpd.conf file, the port number for the app is in line:
"Listen NNNN"
Create admin password:
in ~/webapps/apachewsgi/web2py:
python2.5 web2py -p NNNN # where NNNN is port number, no
quotes
web2py will ask you for a password, which it will then store in a
file, 'parameters_NNNN.py'
from another terminal, kill web2py process according to web2py's
output instructions
Start your app:
~/webapps/apachewsgi/apach2/bin/start
Have fun ?
