By the way I tried installing pymongo two ways: 1) easy_install which put the pymongo .so files in my home/cindy/ folder which I assumed web2py couldn't find (since web2py is in home/www-data/ ). So I uninstalled that.
2) sudo pip which put all the unzipped pymongo files in the /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ folder with root:staff ownership and everyone "r" privileges. There is a /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ folder but nothing is in it. Should I move the pymongo files from the /dist-packages folder into the /site-pckages folder? Would that help web2py to find pymongo? Thanks very much!
