Hi LightDot,
I've got web2py running over Apache on CentOS6.7. Now when I access
the domain, I am being shown the web2py welcome application. I am assuming
I only need a few steps to switch my default application. I now face a few
challenges to make postgreSQL connection to my application point to my
postgresql installation on my VPS. I would try fixing it this week.
Thanks! for your support. I would perhaps post a slice after everything
works for me on Web2py slices site. And I hope there would be a new site to
add in the web2py sites list . Thanks!
Rahul D.
