I tried to run the auto upgrade to the latest version. Worked on Windows/Rocket several times. Would not work on my linode vps because of various permissions problems. Not a big deal.
Uploaded and unzipped the zip file in /var/web2py. Set permissions so that www-data is the group for all files with rw access. My constant result is uWSGI Error Python Application not found. Prior to the update, this had never occurred. In the update, I did not modify my uWSGI config at all. Here is the uWSGI log: *** Starting uWSGI 1.2.3 (32bit) on [Tue Jan 15 11:41:15 2013] *** compiled with version: 4.6.1 on 17 May 2012 23:33:21 detected number of CPU cores: 4 current working directory: / writing pidfile to /var/run/uwsgi.pid detected binary path: /usr/local/bin/uwsgi uWSGI running as root, you can use --uid/--gid/--chroot options setgid() to 33 setuid() to 33 your memory page size is 4096 bytes detected max file descriptor number: 1024 lock engine: pthread robust mutexes uwsgi socket 0 bound to UNIX address /tmp/web2py.sock fd 3 Python version: 2.7.2+ (default, Oct 4 2011, 20:29:37) [GCC 4.6.1] *** Python threads support is disabled.

I tried a very old hint from Massimo to hard code the path to web2py in wsgihandler.py. This is what lines of wsgihandler.py up to that point look like: login as: root root@96.126.123.83's password: Welcome to Ubuntu 11.10 (GNU/Linux 3.0.18-linode43 i686) * Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/ #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- """ This file is part of the web2py Web Framework Copyrighted by Massimo Di Pierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> License: LGPLv3 (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html) This is a WSGI handler for Apache Requires apache+mod_wsgi. In httpd.conf put something like: LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/wsgihandler.py """ # change these parameters as required LOGGING = False SOFTCRON = False import sys import os path = '/var/web2py' os.chdir(path) sys.path = [path] + [p for p in sys.path if not p == path] sys.stdout = sys.stderr import gluon.main if LOGGING: application = gluon.main.appfactory(wsgiapp=gluon.main.wsgibase, logfilename='httpserver.log', profilerfilename=None) else: application = gluon.main.wsgibase if SOFTCRON: from gluon.settings import global_settings global_settings.web2py_crontype = 'soft' I also set the sys.path for python to include both web2py and web2py/gluon in my uwsgi init script: PYTHONPATH=/var/web2py:/var/web2py/gluon. After doing this the uwsgi log reports added /var/web2py:/varweb2py/gluon to pythonpath. This resulted in a different import error--now it can't find wsgihandler ("ImportError: No module named wsgihandler"). This is very frustrating. Everything worked perfectly with earlier version of web2py. Config is just massively fragile with so many moving parts. Sorry for the long post. Thanks for your help. --
