Thank you it works! The different thing I did was sudo chmod +x setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh
instead of chmod +x setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh (which were the instructions at http://www.scribd.com/doc/26436821/Howto-deploy-Web2py-on-amazon-Ec2 ) Although, when I did ls -al both directories looked the same to me (the permissions on setup-web2py- ubuntu.sh file appear to be the same to me) On Tuesday, July 17, 2012 10:47:49 PM UTC+8, rdodev wrote: > > First, let's check the file is in the same directory you are currently at: > type 'ls -al' (w/o quotes) see if the script is in the list. > Second, type 'sudo chmod +x scrip_name.sh' (again, no quotes) > Third, try 'sudo ./script_name.sh' > > > On Tuesday, July 17, 2012 10:43:32 AM UTC-4, lyn2py wrote: >> >> rdodev, >> >> sudo is installed.
