For those interested I made some progress on my dreamhost issues. The following .htaccess launches web2py (/path/to/site/ is where dispatch.fcgi and .htaccess reside):
Options +ExecCGI AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /path/to/site/ RewriteRule ^dispatch\.fcgi/ - [L] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi/$1 [L] I want to see www.mydomain.net/myser/path/to/site/welcome/default/index, but instead it redirects to www.mydomain.net/welcome/default/index. I tried to figure out how to use routes to solve this - can anyone help? thanks! -Rick On Jan 7, 3:15 pm, "richard.ree" <richard.h....@gmail.com> wrote: > The permissions checked out, but I still get the same error html > snippet.
