Thank you for your input. I am using Windows server so I cannot use
the ubuntu scripts you mentioned. How about my second part of the
question? I understand why web2py is designed in such a "secure"
fashion. I am just trying to find a way around it so that I can deploy
my first app. I theory I should be able to type from any machine
http://myserver/myfirstapp, but it gives me an internal error - Ticket
issues. When I click the ticket link, it gives "Admin is disabled
because insecure channel". I have two instances of web2py running. I
can run http://myserver/example or https://myserver/myfirstapp without
any issues. What's so special about the built-in examples app? Do I
have to cut out some code from my app to get rid of all the admin menu
and authentication for a general users?
