I have made much progress on this since I posted and it got approved.

1) I was using python syntax in a bash script... :-) I removed the () and 
switched to single quotes.
DAEMON_ARGS='web2py.py -a "t3st3st" -i 192.168.1.20 -p 8000
-c /usr/share/ssl-cert/server.crt -k /usr/share/ssl-cert/server.key
--pid_filename=$PIDFILE'


2) the version of web2py in python-web2py from apt-get was old. I deleted 
/usr/sahrewb2py and then downloaded and copied web2py from github to 
/usr/share/web2py

It still fails when I try /etc/init.d/web2py start, but now I am at least 
getting useful errors.

Have to run out but I'll be back online in a few hours and back at this... 
if anyone has a suggestion still would love the help.

Thanks,
