Try running it like this: python2.5 web2py -p 80
By default, webfaction runs python 2.4 so if you don't specify 2.5 you may run into problems. I had really good luck following instructions written by dhmorgan and yarko in webfaction's forums. You can view it at http://forum.webfaction.com/viewtopic.php?pid=8473. I have edited it to what works for me based on what dhmorgan wrote and what yarko added a month later. It is included below. Good luck. -jason Settting up Web2py as WSGI on Webfaction Make available two subdomain names, one for adminstration, the other for public display: 'admin.example.com' 'www.example.com' Create a webfaction application of type "mod_wsgi 2.5/Python 2.5": 'apachewsgi' Create two webfaction sites that : 'mysite_admin' -- https enabled; subdomain 'admin.example.com'; application 'apachewsgi' served at '/' 'mysite' -- *not* https enabled; subdomain 'www.example.com'; application 'apachewsgi' served at '/' Get the latest web2py and copy it into ~/webapps/apachewsgi/: cd ~/repos/svn #for example svn checkout http://web2py.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ web2py-read- only svn export web2py-read-only ~/webapps/apachewsgi/web2py Edit ~/webapps/apachewsgi/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: !! see listing below !! Create admin password: in ~/webapps/apachewsgi/web2py: python2.5 web2py -p 80 web2py will ask you for a password, which it will then store in a file, 'parameters_80.py'. From another terminal, kill web2py process according to web2py's output instructions if it doesn't die on its own from trying to set up on port 80. This is done because webfaction gives you a port which is mod_wsgi_listener_port, to use in your httpd.conf file; however, web2py admin is looking at the request server_port which is port 80.
