eb2py, as
addressed by the documentation, is COMPLETELY inadequate when a server
directory is pretty much open to the world. So, this should be documented.
I am afraid I am quite unqualified to contribute to such documentation.

So, the world seems to back UWSGI as the preferrred solution. I'll get

more tunable.

It doesn't look good when visitors to your site see the web2py error

Markdown display using the imported WIKI function shifts text down by
about 1/2em (one half of a line). This is very annoying in a table
