Well it's entirely possible I don't understand my problem. Running on my macbook locally everything works like a charm. On the "play" deployment server, which uses Apache, the script that deletes files after processing fails because it lacks "permission" (according to the web2py error log). Also, when uploading the files Apache goes to 100% cpu and stays there, consuming RAM until I get tired of watching. Admittedly, they are very large files (~200MB) but I don't see why Apache should consume >2G of RAM while spinning in some kind of loop.
Everything is set up as in the book and messages here -- I used Debian Linux for the play server and used www-data for the user and group, and put web2py under /home/www-user/. The website works fine in all other ways, but just has issues uploading/downloading files from my web page file loader. I must say this web deployment step is much harder than using web2py to create the site! -- Joe B.
