I have renamed web2py.py to web2py.pyw and then start web2py using a shortcut with target set to <path>\web2py.pyw -t You need to have .pyw appropriately set up as a file type in windows explorer for this to work I think. I had installed a windows distribution of Python before I had web2py, and I the installation process set this up.
The extra 'w' on the Python file extension means 'don't open a console window' Chris On Mar 22, 3:52 pm, Iceberg <iceb...@21cn.com> wrote: > Tried but that does not help. :-P > > We need something similar to the effect of hstart.exe's: > hstart /NOCONSOLE "web2py.exe -i 0.0.0.0 -a ""<recycle>"" -t" > > On Mar22, 11:06pm, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > > > > > try > > > web2py -a blah -p 8000 > > > Not sure. > > > On Mar 21, 10:44 pm, Iceberg <iceb...@21cn.com> wrote: > > > > Hi pals, > > > > I am using web2py 's windows distribution.
