[web2py] Things to do to secure server running purely web2py?

I am planning to go with DigitalOcean or Linode or Aliyun. What do you do or steps do you take to secure your server? Thank you, I am a noob at this. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.

[web2py] Changing admin password

I seem to have forgotten the admin password for my web2py installation, so I need to change it. Looking at posts here, the recommendation was: 1 - stop apache server 2 - restart web2py 3 - enter new password 4 - restart apache server I'm getting stuck at 2. The only way I know how to "restart"

Re: [web2py] Changing admin password

Hello Ian, Not sure I understand your exact problem, but you can reset admin password like this : sudo -u www-data python -c "from gluon.main import save_password; save_password('123456',443)" Where 123456 is you pass phrase. 443 is the port for which the password apply This will create parame

Re: [web2py] Changing admin password

Alright, thanks Richard. I'm still fuzzy about the last part where you say I should "restart the web2py instance." I thought that apache simply provided access to web2py. I've never had to do anything to start a "web2py instance." So what is the "web2py instance" and how do I restart it? Thanks

Re: [web2py] Changing admin password

Also, in the command you give above, what is the "www-data" argument? Is that the path to the directory set up in apache to hold web content? I appreciate your help with these very basic questions. As you can tell, I'm stuck trying to run a server without any experience or training. So when thi

Re: [web2py] Changing admin password

Never mind. I figured it out. "www-data" is the user name for the home/ directory holding my web2py data. I'm still not sure about "restarting a web2py instance" but I restarted apache and the new password worked. Thanks a lot for your help! Ian On Thursday, February 16, 2017 at 11:46:44 AM UT

Re: [web2py] Changing admin password

Yeah it depends how things are configured, for instance I need to start uwsgi service in order to allow web2py to work, just start/restart nginx is not controlling web2py instance... Also you mention about rocket server, so I am a bit puzzled on how your server is configured... But, replacing (wit

Yes. There are 2 web2py bugs here. The first one that is probably affecting you is that auth.user which is cached in the session is not being updated with the thumbnail values. The second one you can read about here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/web2py-developers/gwEr1cHQNAY Anyway, w
