rdodev, sudo is installed. I know that because sudo apt-get update works.
The instance is, in fact, a micro, 64-bit Ubuntu! I ran both sudo setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh and sudo ./setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh The error that came up is: sudo: setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh: command not found no password prompt. If it comes up, what should be the password? Sorry if this sounds easy peasy to you, I only know minimum commands and understand a little. Just following whatever instructions are given. Pls help. If it is of any consequence, the image used is Ubuntu 12.x On Tuesday, July 17, 2012 10:15:45 PM UTC+8, rdodev wrote: > > The fact that you don't have sudo installed tells me you might have chosen > the wrong instance type.
