Thanks for the details on modifying the lighttpd configuration file.
Actually, I am pretty confident about doing this, having modified it
to connect to fossil.
However, I am confused by fcgihandler.py
It says:
This file has to be in the PYTHONPATH
What does this mean? The file has to be moved? Or the web2py folder
has to be added to the path? How do I modify the PYTHONPATH - 'echo
$PYTHONPATH' gives me nothing.
