admin requires connection via SSL or localhost, otherwise it's a serious security risk. To get a localhost connection, you can ssh into the server. > 2. > I am unable to make and use my own controller function. > I have both my controller function in the "default.py" controller, and I > made my own "test_controller.py" file that I have the same function in that > file. > > This always works: http://MY_IP/test_app/*default* > /test_controller_function > But this: http://MY_IP/test_app/*test_controller*/test_controller_function > > returns the message: *invalid view > (test_controller/test_controller_function.html)* > If your controller returns a dict, web2py assumes it must then execute a view, and by default it looks for the view in /views/[controller name]/[function name].[request extension]. You can direct it to a different view by setting response.view to a different file path within the /views folder. You can also take advantage of the generic.html view. By default, generic views are turned off, but in the scaffolding app, there is a line in the db.py model file that turns them on on localhost only. Note, if you don't want to use a view at all, then just have your controller return a string instead of a dict. > 3. > Why must you have a .html file that matches the name of the function you > are "calling"? > > e.g. if you go to: http://MY_IP/test_app/default/test_controller_function > I had to make a test_controller_function.html > See above. Note, the name doesn't have to match -- that's just a default -- you can use a different name but you must then be explicit about it by setting response.view or calling response.render() directly.
