Thx. I am *really* relieved that web2py doesn't need to be run as root. I think my problem was that __init__.pyc got *somehow* owned by root and then web2py wouldn't run unless it was root. I've now successfully gotten it up and running (***finally***) as a non-root user (yeah, I de-installed everything, deleted all relevent directories, rebooted (this was necessary!!! even in Linux???) and then did a reinstall). Ok. So I pull up web2py in eclipse and set a breakpoint at the bottom and it stops and I click to *run* after that. It should now stop in default.py at my breakpoints (like it used to) when I make my xmlrpc calls from the client.
Instead, it doesn't hang, the client just aborts with a 400 error from the svr. So I'm commenting out everything I can and just trying to get ***anything*** to work. So far, no joy. I luv python but I absolutely ***hate*** this "silent fail" time waster. Gawwwd. Here's my args to web2py: -i 192.168.0.155 -p 8080 -v -n 1 -o 5000 -a "<recycle>" I *think* that gives a 5 second timeout... mmmm I better up that to 50000. I created another simple add/sub xmlrpc app and ***finally*** it works. So now onto the app that used to work. This web server beastie does NOT play nice when it fails. --- Rb *sigh* On Jul 27, 6:03 pm, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > NO.
