Sorry to revive this thing a year later. I have taken a stab at this 
yesterday and at 5 in the morning I was still nowhere trying to install w2p 
under a shared hosting account. Has anyone gotten this to work on 
hostgator? I would really appreciate some help. I have pretty much vacuumed 
the web for installation instructions and tried them all, though they are 
all very similar to what is described in this thread. I can't seem to get 
anything but 404 response. Maybe I try to navigate the wrong URL.

In a nut shell I have done the following:

- installed web2py inside ~/public_html
- created executable web2py.fcgi 
- added the stuff to .htaccess

At the end I was messing with routes.py a bit, but to no avail (I'm fuzzy 
on how to interpret this stuff though). If you have a working config on HG 
that would give me one of the w2p's wecome app to show or any sort of 
HelloWorld kind of an app to work, I would appreciate you sharing it here. 

On a related note, what would be the URL I would need to navigate to see 
w2p welcome app after a successful w2p install, given the domain 
www.blah.com and w2p installed ~/public_html? Would it be 
www.blah.com/web2py/welcome?

My plan at this point is to try django following the instructions from HG 
support pages. Just want to make sure any python framework at all would 
work. I have not done this yet and in the long run am not looking at using 
django. 

Thank you in a advance,
-piton
