Hi Dave, I have reloaded the apps in web2py if that's what you mean. I can't restart web2py, I can only reload the apps, I guess. Is there an other way on pythonanywhere? I mean, restarting web2py instead of reloading the apps?
*Re: robots.txt* If I put robots.txt in my static folder the URL will still have to be *mysite.com/init/static/robots.txt* to reach it- this is the issue I am trying to solve - I am trying have *mysite.com/robots.txt* On Saturday, October 14, 2017 at 2:35:11 AM UTC+8, Dave S wrote: > > > > On Friday, October 13, 2017 at 2:12:13 AM UTC-7, Joe wrote: >> >> Thanks very much Anthony for all your help with this one.
