I suspect that what I've got to tell you is not all that useful as I just wanted to try out web2py and using EC2 was an easy way of doing it. I don't have any longterm need to run it on EC2.
Like you I didn't really want to get involved in using Apache but I did use the script you reference originally just because I was trying out different things. Having used the script you described web2py.py was then installed in /home/www-data/web2py and so from thhere I executed : $ sudo python web2py.py --password=foo --port=8000 --ip=0.0.0.0 I hope that's of some use - you'll probably get fuller advice from others. regards Richard I found the easiest way to access the admin functions was to set up a SSH tunnel into the EC2 instance which avoided me having to set up certs etc to access the admin functions. Hope that's of some use. regards Richard.
