I have successfully set up web2py on my dreamhost account thanks to
this thread and the instructions on http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Web2py

Thank you all.

I do have a comment/question:

To get it to work I ended up putting the entire contents of the web2py
package in my webroot.  This seems a bit messy as I assume there is
stuff in there that doesn't really need to be there (although I don't
know completely what's needed and what's not).   It also clutters up
my webroot and I'm not even sure how secure this technique is?

Also what I did seems contrary to an earlier comment that suggested
the web2py package of stuff should be in ~/web2py.  I had tried that
first but got errors.  (My dispatch.cgi could not see the gluon
library.)

The wiki page is a somewhat silent on a recommended directory
structure for all this stuff.

Regardless it does work and I'm excited to try this stuff out.
However I would appreciate and suggestions to refine the situation.
Also it might be nice if we could get a little more specific on the
wiki page for future generations.  I burned a lot of time going back
and forth between this thread and the wiki page...  I didn't mind, but
I imagine some folks might give before getting it going.

I look forward to reading any other comments,

Mike

P.S.  by the way very nice framework!  Kudos.
