I use the stock Rocket server that comes with web2py and I restart it after changing the routes.py. I must say that I don't fully understand the big picture of how the apps the compiler and the operating system cooperate. One time I uploaded a site to GAE with two separate apps but the tables in the models were named the same. web2py saw the models as separate and GAE as one and both apps were accessing the tables of the first app only. In this project I kept my apps separate because I wanted to have a generic versions of each that I can quickly reuse elsewhere. Now I see this design might be flawed. I will follow your advice and place the code under one app. I feel too, that I might have a glitch in my setup. Big thank you for the help with routes.
Thanks for your time.
