[web2py:14691] Re: web2py on dreamhost shell account?

Oops, I overlooked that last import in my attachment.  You were right to fix it how you did.

Your step 3 tells me that it's working.  This is roughly what I get when I run mine.  Now it's just a matter of getting Apache to recognize your dispatch.fcgi.  Things to check:
- permissions:
  $ chmod 664 .htaccess
  $ chmod 755 dispatch.fcgi
  $ chown <your username> ~/www/*
  $ chgrp <your usergroup> ~/www/*

Try that and give Dreamhost's fcgi daemon 10 minutes to notice the changes.  Let me know if we need to fiddle some more.

I followed your steps but got the following errors.

1. The .htaccess file causes this snippet of html to be returned for
all requests: <html><body>Error</body></html>
2. When I run dispatch.fcgi unmodified, it bails with "ImportError: No
module named fcgi" even though the import from gluon.contrib.gateways
is successful (I can print it, dir() it, and so on)
3. I modify dispatch.fcgi to import WSGIServer as "from
gluon.contrib.gateways.fcgi import WSGIServer" - this runs, but then I
get the following:
  
WARNING:root:unable to import dbhash
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param REQUEST_METHOD required by WSGI!
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param SERVER_NAME required by WSGI!

I realize I can ignore the WSGIServer errors, but what about the 303
status?  Strange.  I tried google and the dreamhost wiki and forums
for answers but no luck. Thanks for your help.

I have mine working like this:
1) Extract web2py to ~/web2py
2) Place the attached dispatch.fcgi in your webroot (~/www you said)
3) Modify dispatch.fcgi to point to the right directories in your situation
4) Place the attached htaccess file in your webroot.  (Make sure you rename it to .htaccess )
No need to run web2py, FastCGI takes care of it.  I've had some trouble with routes with this setup, but I'm not sure if it's me or the setup.  =)
Let me know if that doesn't work for you.  One thing to note is that you must specify python2.5 (1st line in dispatch.fcgi) because dreamhost's default `python` points to python 2.4.4

I have a shell account but not a WebID so I have no access to the control panel. In my home directory, web content is served from ~/www, which is visible aswww.mydomain.net/myusername. I'd like to set up web2py such that it's accessible as, e.g.,www.mydomain.net/myusername/web2py, or better yet, have a specific web2py application visible aswww.mydomain.net/myusername/myapp. On another server where I control apache I used ProxyPass directives to do this. Is it a matter of using the wsgi handler? I can start web2py on the dreamhost server and tunnel port 8000 to my local machine - this works - butwww.mydomain.net:8000does not.
