+1 for Eddie's idea. Currently I just feel boring enough to do all below steps when I upgrade to a newer version of web2py_win.zip 1. Move all web2py/applications/myapp_* into c:\temp 2. Delete the current "web2py" directory 3. Unzip the new web2py_win.zip into "web2py" directory and start it. 4. Move back all my apps from c:\temp to web2py/applications With Eddie's idea, I can skip step 1 & 4, just unzip the new web2py_*.zip, and do something like: web2py -a blah -L myconfig.ini or just: web2py -a blah --APP_PATH c:\my_app_repo Of course, the configure file is optional, therefore the official "Has no configuration files. You just unzip it and click on it" slogan remains true. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
