I have a problem getting web2py working in Ubuntu Linux (Lucid Lynx). Let me explain the situation...
I am experimenting with a VirtualBox VM of Ubuntu. I follow the instructions in the Official web2py Book (sections: Apache setup and mod_wsgi). The VM has an address of 192.168.1.102. As per instruction, I created the /etc/apache2/sites-available/web2py Apache configuration file. Now, the book says, "When you restart Apache, it should pass all the requests to web2py without going through the Rocket wsgiserver." I also followed the instructions in the section, Start as Linux Daemon. (I couldn't figure out how to start web2py as a background process, so my console was locked up when I type 'python web2py.py'.) Okay, so I've restarted Apache2. Presumably, if I enter: 192.168.1.102/welcome/default/index into the browser, it should take me to the Welcome app? Or am I being obtuse? I also tried: 192.168.1.102:8000/welcome/default/index but still cannot connect. What puzzles me is that httpd.conf in the original Apache2 installation remains unchanged (it's empty). How does Apache know to use the configuration file in sites-available? Perhaps someone can clarify this for me, please. Thanks, Richard
