I changed auth = Auth(db, host_names=myconf.get('host.name')) to auth = Auth(db) for backwards compatibility (I think host_names will be introduced in the upcoming release)
That should fix that problem. Are you having another problem? I'm actually having a problem with the old pydal in old versions and can't find the problem - but it's working with current 2.14.1 Could you try using the current Version 2.14.1-beta+timestamp.2016.03.23.16.47.51 ? That's what I developed against. Would love to find the problem supporting old versions though!
