When a new app is created in shell mode the databases folder is
missing, which causes it to fail with the following:
web2py Enterprise Web Framework
Created by Massimo Di Pierro, Copyright 2007-2010
Version 1.89.1 (2010-11-12 15:14:36)
Database drivers available: SQLite3
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\w2p\web2py_1.89.1_src\gluon\restricted.py", line 188, in

File "applications\test\models/db.py", line 15, in <module>

other DB

raise RuntimeError, "%s (tried 5 times)" % exception
RuntimeError: unable to open database file (tried 5 times)
As you can see this happens with the latest release (1.89.1) but it is
not a problem with this release since it also fails in 1.88.2 or even
1.83.1 as reported by Bruno in
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/msg/df4e2ade0383f3f9
I am running from source in Windows XP but Bruno reported it using
Ubuntu.
Running it as web2py.py -P -S newapp
as suggested by mr.freeze in
http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/msg/8d369683e24001ee
only masks the problem since the error does not occur but the
databases folder is still missing, at least for me.
Denes.
