> Where am I supposed to give web2py this password? Assuming you have SSH or shell access, first run web2py from the command line directly:
$ ./web2py It will ask you for a password. After you do that and hit enter, you can terminate the process. If the parameters file contains 8000 in the filename, copy the parameters file to $ cp parameters_8000.py parameters_80.py Note that the admin channel is only enabled for secure access, i.e. HTTPS, unless you go into th web2py source code and comment out the admin security bits. There are guides that explain how to do this on web2pyslices.
