Thanks again.  I did open a server at webfaction and I think I'm on
the right track.  This is a bit of a newbie question but I think the
answer might help others.  How do I change permissions so that the
web2py.py script functions properly?
I get the following reslults when starting web2py:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "web2py.py", line 21, in <module>
    start()
  File "/home/rentes/webapps/apachewsgi/web2py/gluon/widget.py", line
828, in start
    server.start()
  File "/home/rentes/webapps/apachewsgi/web2py/gluon/main.py", line
555, in start
    self.server.start()
  File "/home/rentes/webapps/apachewsgi/web2py/gluon/wsgiserver.py",
line 1383, in start
    raise socket.error, msg
socket.error: (13, 'Permission denied')
