I think the thread you referenced was one discussing deployment on Ubuntu where yes, nginx/uwsgi is preferred. But, the Windows environment is different (in my opinion) since the Windows nginx is still considered 'beta'. I wouldn't feel that comfortable using it. (that said, I do use many other 'beta' projects)
If Apache/mod_wsgi is really frowned upon, should it be noted in the book? @omi - I migrated from Windows/Apache/mod_wsgi a while back to Ubuntu/nginx/uwsgi. I think that at that time I switched from using pyodbc to pypyodbc. I too access MS SQL servers from my ubuntu box using ODBC (along with IBM AS/400 databases). It works very well for me. -Jim On Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at 1:33:53 PM UTC-5, Richard wrote: > > I would say, we don't not don't support it, we just don't maintain a > web2py setup script with Apache...
