Thanks, I'm on example 3 which is the one this is based on. My issue isn't
that even something this simple isn't working and I don't know why.
In fact, I've already tried the controller thing (example 3) and got the
same error (same error). So I went back to basics and converted to
"<h1>hello world</h1>". But that doesn't work either.
So the more complex example is:
My controller is called index.py:
> def index():
> return dict(message=T("Hello World"))
And now I've edited my view to:
> <h1>hello world</h1>
> <h2>{{=message}}</h2>
The same url is giving me the same error.
So I'm stuck with my original two questions:
a) What am I doing wrong? This seems like it's a simple as it gets.
b) How do I get web2py to give me useful debugging information that I can
pursue? If I get "invalid request" every time I make a mistake this is
going to take forever.
