sorry for bad english, i forgot one thing that: you should check web2py folder first, if there is a parameters_1234.py file then you have remove it before do steps above (coz: if parameters_1234.py is existing then web2py wont ask password again, dont remember exactly )
web2py admin panel and password wont work if you installed it by autoscript, because 2 problems: 1- No SSL web2py website be created in webfaction control panel. 2- parameters_portnumber.py: portnumber is wrong ( i tested and it works with port 80, dont understand why) To re-config apache for web2py, goto: username/webapps/web2py/apache2/conf/httpd.conf open this file and here is config: ************************************************************************ ServerRoot "/home/username/webapps/web2py/apache2" LoadModule dir_module modules/mod_dir.so LoadModule env_module modules/mod_env.so LoadModule log_config_module modules/mod_log_config.so LoadModule mime_module modules/mod_mime.so LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so LoadModule setenvif_module modules/mod_setenvif.so LoadModule wsgi_module modules/mod_wsgi.so LogFormat "%{X-Forwarded-For}i %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined CustomLog /home/kokoyo/logs/user/access_w2p.log combined DirectoryIndex index.py DocumentRoot /home/username/webapps/web2py/htdocs ErrorLog /home/username/logs/user/error_w2p.log KeepAlive Off Listen 59634 MaxSpareThreads 3 MinSpareThreads 1 ServerLimit 1 SetEnvIf X-Forwarded-SSL on HTTPS=1 ThreadsPerChild 5 WSGIDaemonProcess w2p processes=1 python-path=/home/username/webapps/web2py/lib/python2.7 threads=1 maximum-requests=120 WSGIProcessGroup w2p WSGIRestrictEmbedded On WSGILazyInitialization On WSGIScriptAlias / /home/username/webapps/web2py/web2py/wsgihandler.py ********************************************************************* Regards On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 12:35 PM, khuc viet Cuong <hoatre2...@gmail.com> wrote: > hi, > webfaction will use your admin password for web2py admin password by > default if you install it by auto-script. its ricsky. > to set password , you have login via SSH, run web2py as python script, > it will ask you password, when you done, stop and kill web2py process, > a new file : parameters_portnumber.py , etc. parameters_1234.py which > 12345 port is webfaction gave you when create a new app , but web2py > wont work, alway say can access password or...blabla, to solve it, > rename its name: > > parameters_1234.py--> parameters_80.py > > and check your apache thread worker via SSH, and test from your brow. > default web2py app folder in webfaction will look like this: > web2py--> > -apache2 > -htdocs > -web2py > > check your apache thread worker memory usage via SSH to know how much > it eats, should re-config apache, if not webffaction will kill your > apache worker and issue email "memory exceed your plan...." when run > web2py. if u need re-config apache, i will paste it here for you. > Regards > > > On Thu, Jul 5, 2012 at 7:42 AM, monotasker <scotti...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Do you know how to set the admin password?
