[web2py] Deploying a site powered by web2py.
Now I do understand that I am probably asking a very rudimentary question but in the end I need a rudimentary answer that I am just not finding. Or if I am finding I don't know what i am looking at. A little background: I have experience in Python and in Web Design, not much in the incorporation of the two which is the main reason I have looked into Web2py. I am needing to build a website that is rich in features that HTML and CSS just can not handle and I need to be able to program it fast. Now I can get Web2py working on my Local computer just fine, no problem. I am even jumping into the actual development rather quickly and easily. The framework is really extremely helpful in the quick implementation of code and I am very grateful that it exists. Before I get too far in the programming and development of the site that is needed I needed to make sure that I can get it hosted on the internet and that it will work, and this is where it falls down. I have only ever worked in html, xhtml, css, or javascript when it comes to the internet and I do not understand the intricacies of apache or wsgi or CGI at all. I am currently having a mental block on this area and it is causing me intense frustration. Simply put, how do I setup web2py coming from my webhost (in this case www.site5.com) I have setup a virtual enviroment and unzipped the source of web2py on the website. I can run the script web2py.py and get it to prompt that it is running a server but I do not know how to access it and I am under the impression that the web2py.py script is really made for development not deployment of websites. It should be noted that one of the main features I need is automated database evaluation and manipulation. Any help is extremely welcomed and I would be most grateful. I am simply running out of time to be stumped by what is most likely a simple issue.

Hello, have you read the web2py book, specifically chapter 11, http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/11 it should tell the most. If you still have questions will try to answer them.

I think deployment of web2py is one of the easiest of all the python frameworks. I found a lot of difficulties with Django. Maybe was my fault, but in web2py was a lot easier. Read Chapter 11 as Kenneth said. 2010/12/4 Kenneth Lundström kenneth.t.lundst...@gmail.com Hello, have you read the web2py book, specifically chapter 11, http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/11 it should tell the most.
