Hello pbreit,
Yes I am attempting to deploy on my windows machine. I did use the rocket server to work through the web2py.com/books chapters and examples. Now I am on http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/13 trying to deploy these sample apps on Apache. Chapter 29 only shows a partial http.conf where the virtual host is defined. I've been trying to hack the http.conf file trying different settings. So far. still no luck.
