[web2py] Re: admin interface + GAE
Yes, not a bug but these are issues which come up when messing with the
admin interface on GAE.
NOTE that the issues occur when running locally using the GAE SDK as well.
So I assume the correct approach is to run it once as a normal web2py app
i.e. python web2py.py to get those special files
to write out. Then subsequent dev_appserver.py runs should work...

You are right. This is a different problem. Please open a ticket about it, if not done already and I will check later today or tomorrow.

I don't know if we understand us correctly. I don't use get_or_create_key anywhere and I am not referring to dlypka posts (I think our problems are not related). However my problem remains existing: If you deploy web2py trunk/stable with no other changes than altering the app.yaml in order to use the admin interface it fails due to forbidden calls in "check_credentials".

[web2py] Re: admin interface + GAE
This is not a bug! 1) First of all, for new apps, do not use get_or_create_key any more. The new web2py had better security using salted password. You do not need a key. 2) If you must use a key (because you have a legacy app or because you want to use hmac) the key must be saved on a file. You should save it on the host (by running the app locally once) and then deploy on GAE.

[web2py] Re: admin interface + GAE
I had to work around this problem in tools.py in my web2py 1.9x code.
Maybe this issue is still in 2.x
@staticmethod
def get_or_create_key(filename=None):
request = current.request
if not filename:
filename = os.path.join(request.folder,'private','auth.key')
if os.path.exists(filename):
key = open(filename,'r').read().strip()
else:
key = web2py_uuid()
*#* open(filename,'w').write(key) *# dlypka workaround - this crashes on
GAE, not allowing to write to a file!!*
return key
--
Also a similar issue here: in In admin\controllers\default.py
#Get crontab
cronfolder = apath('%s/cron' % app, r=request)
if not os.path.exists(cronfolder): os.mkdir(cronfolder)
crontab = apath('%s/cron/crontab' % app, r=request)
#if not os.path.exists(crontab): # dlypka patch for GAE - safe_write()
fails on gae
#safe_write(crontab, '#crontab')

Strange. this is a gae error.

What comes as a surprise to me is that the admin interface is working in the GAE SDK emulation...

Can you show use a traceback from the GAE logs. Admin is readonly on GAE. On Sunday, 18 November 2012 12:53:49 UTC-6, Sebastian Cambeo wrote: > > Is it possible to use the admin interface on GAE? I get internal errors > although I changed the app.yaml accordingly > > Thank You! > > Sebastian > --
