Hi Graham, I have configured an Apache+web2py corretcly in VPS hosting, but I'd like to give a try to Nginx (I tried to set it up but without success), could you give us an example configuration of Nginx+Apache+web2py? My Apache conf (now) its the typical one with the DaemonProcess, ProcessGroup and ScriptAlias...
