Hi Derek,
is this the first name based domain on the server? Do you have other
name based webpages on the server?
For some reason it sounds like Apache doesn't see this configuration and
doesn't understand to use web2py.

While I can run web2py on my development machine (Ubuntu 10.10)
without any problems, I cannot seem to get it to work on a production
server.
I have adapted the directions given in
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/11#mod_wsgi
as follows:
$ cd /var/www/
$ sudo wget http://web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_src.zip
$ sudo unzip web2py_src.zip
$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/web2py
Then in a new config file /etc/apache2/sites-available/web2py I have
added:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
ServerName subdomain.domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/web2py/
WSGIDaemonProcess web2py user=www-data group=www-data \
display-name=%{GROUP}
WSGIProcessGroup web2py
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/web2py/wsgihandler.py
<Directory /var/www/web2py>
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
<Files wsgihandler.py>
Allow from all
</Files>
</Directory>
AliasMatch ^/([^/]+)/static/(.*) \
/var/www/web2py/applications/$1/static/$2
<Directory /var/www/web2py/applications/*/static/>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
<Location /admin>
Deny from all
</Location>
<LocationMatch ^/([^/]+)/appadmin>
Deny from all
</LocationMatch>
CustomLog /private/var/log/apache2/access.log common
ErrorLog /private/var/log/apache2/error.log
</VirtualHost>
(Note: "subdomain.domain.com" is just a dummy entry here; on the real
server it contains the actual server details.)
However, browsing to the main entry page just results in the normal
main page for the server being displayed.
I will appreciate any "boot up" help you can give!
Thanks
Derek

(As a small footnote, I have seen that most tutorials and directions
for web frameworks start with "installing on a new/clean machine",
which is very frustrating because 95% of the time that is simply not
the case...)
