I followed the web2py 3.1 Ed. book chapter for installation on Windows (VISTA Enterprise in my case). web2py and Apache 2.2 now work independently. web2py still just working in its own Rocket server. I made all the changes to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation \Apache2.2\conf\httpd.conf and it works. I create the Self-Signed Certificate and so on as well. Apache seems to not work on Port 80, maybe due to IIS 7 presence though I stopped the IIS7 Service.
So in httpd.conf I decided to specify Listen 138.85.50.99:8080 Listen 138.85.50.99:443 ServerName 138.85.50.99:8080 http://127.0.0.1:8080/welcome/default/index (web2py Rocket) http://138.85.50.99:8080/index.html works (Apache) Q: How to get the web2py Welcome app to run under Apache????? What URL should be used to run web2py Welcome under Apache??? Is there a .py I have change to point to Apache instead of Rocket? How to I keep web2py running? Does it have to be a Windows Service? or will Apache somehow invoke python web2py.py as needed? ONE Gotcha under VISTA and Windows 7: Not good to install in C: \Program Files because security restrictions prevent the installer from saving changes to any config files it tries to update as part of installation. Needs to go into something like C:\Apache22 for example. Else open up Security Settings for C:\Program Files.
