I too, think there is no requirement about init, except that without modifying route ou router py to point on you specific app you need to call it init or create a symbolic links pointing to it at the applications/ folder in order to web2py to serve you app when you access IP or domain address...
You can just set you app name in routes.py file in web2py/ root folder : routers = dict( # base router BASE=dict( default_application='yourAppName', ), ) The routes.py template file is located in : web2py/examples/ The proper template is parametrics routes...
