Thanks for the hint. I managed to come up with a seemingly simpler
routes.py for same purpose.
routers = dict(
BASE = dict(
domains = {
"my_domain.com" : "app1",
"another_domain.com" : "app2",
},
),
)
However, the only downside is only one said app is exposed to the said
domain. What if my domain need two apps to serve?

Re: [web2py] Re: WebFactions Applications
a few steps that I use, I assume that you already installed web2py :)
0) set your domain at your registrar to point to webfaction dns servers
1) add your domain to webfaction domains
2) set your domain to be handled by your app (see webfaction's websites)
3 )create a routes.py (or rename routes_example.py) file with the content
routes_in = (
('(.*):https?://(www\.)?yoursitename1\.com:(.*)/', '/yourapp1/'),
('(.*):https?://(www\.)?yoursitename2\.com:(.*)/', '/yourapp2/'),
)
def __routes_doctest():
pass
if __name__ == '__main__':
import doctest
from gluon.rewrite import *
load(routes=__file__)
doctest.testmod()
4) restart your server (apache, nginx or whatever server you use)
this kind of installation doesn't need multiple web2py's installations

See here: http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04#Parameter-Based-System -- there's an example mapping domains to apps.

If ALL your other domains only need ONE SAME "web2py app" named
mastro, you are lucky. You only need to rename "mastro" as "welcome"
or "init". Problem solved.
If, in my cases, different domain needs different web2py app to serve,
I use a naive trick. Here is my "web2py app" welcome/default.py 's
index():
Well, my simple
def index(): # serves as a springboard
if request.env.http_host.endswith('site_alpha.com'):
redirect(URL(a='alpha',c='default',f='index'))
if request.env.http_host.endswith('site_beta.com'):
redirect(URL(a='beta',c='default',f='index'))
...
You get the idea.
It is not perfect. End users see a long url, e.g.
http://www.site_alpha.com/alpha/default/index
Besides, if site alpha 's end user types in
http://www.site_ALPHA.com/BETA/default/index,
oops, he sees contents in site beta. I can live with that. How about
you?
It is possible to use web2py's builtin url rewriting feature, or
nginx's url rewrite feature, which should be faster by the way. But I
did not go that far yet. People who've been there please give some
light.

Fortunately I use webfaction too so I can understand. Yes I think you can install the entire web2py package as a "webfaction app" for your each "webfaction website". But that way each "webfaction app" contains at least one dedicate process. Your webfaction account may exceed memory quota quickly. I install only one web2py package as a one-for-all "webfaction app". Then bind my several domains to this unique "webfaction app" via webfaction control panel, so requests to all my domain go to that same web2py process. Later, setup some url rewrite rules so requests for different domain go to different "web2py app". This solution is good for many light traffic sites. Hope I describe it clearly. Regards, Ray
