Actually, it looks like i was chasing the wrong issue... It wasn't https after all.
Everything seems to be working after changing this line in apache default.conf: WSGIDaemonProcess web2py user=www-data group=www-data processes=1 threads=1 to: WSGIDaemonProcess web2py user=www-data group=www-data processes=5 threads=15 Is there any reason not to change this default setting from one-step deployment? Can I likely set these values higher based on my hardware?
