I found I need to login to the machine and as www-data run the application server once from python as in
python web2py.py supply an admmin password with -a and then crtrl-c to break out. One clue is if the NEWINSTALL file is still there in the web2py directory then it won't work until the above is performed. The Apache wsgi interface will then work for loading applications. I haven't has a chance to figure out why this is, the permissions for the entire file tree were owned by www-data but still application loading failed until it was run once directly by python.
