Heh. Obviously you haven't touched it in a while. Read the Install(ation) section of Jason's Webware tutorial. http://www.opensky.ca/~jdhildeb/webware/ Or the 0.8.1 install guide: http://www.webwareforpython.org/Webware-0.8.1/WebKit/Docs/InstallGuide.ht ml I don't know if going from 0.7.0 to 0.8.1 will break anything, but it doesn't really matter because it's easy to setup two webwares on the same machine -- webware lives entirely out of the directory you untar it to. So, just untar 0.8.1 somewhere that's NOT over top of 0.7.0, then run the install script (which doesn't install any files to your python path -- it only updates things in that webware directory). Now, make a new appserver (run "python bin/MakeAppWorkDir.py /where/you/want/the/appserver"), then synchronize the settings of the config files in the new appserver/Config directory with the old one, and you should be good to go. The Apache mod_webkit might've changed from 0.7 to 0.8, so you might have to upgrade that to be able to try out your new config. Purdy easy, if you know what/why you're doing. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
