You need to have at least a basic routes.py in the root /web2py folder, but
for application specific routing, you can also put a routes.py file in the
application folder (i.e., in /web2py/applications/myapp/). If you are using
the pattern-based rewrite system, you'll need to use routes_app in the root
routes.py file (as described at the end of this section of the book
<http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/04/the-core#Pattern-based-system>)
to route to the app. If you are using the parameter-based system, the root
routes.py file just needs a basic "router" dict (it could be empty or
include a simple "BASE" dict). The app-specific routes.py file would then
include a router specified like this:
router = dict(
myapp = dict(
...
)
)
where "myapp" is the name of the application. The rewrite system will
compose the "router" from the root routes.py file with the "router" from
the application routes.py file.
