I'm not sure what you mean by "reload the apps". Routes.py in the web2py directory is normally read-once. I haven't used pythonanywhere, and my Heroku experience is with node.js, and a few months ago. As I recall, with Heroku you stop the server from the Heroku dashboard. You then do a normal reload, which will read the git repo again, pour everything into a fresh container, and start the server. If pythonanywhere isn't like that, then you'll have to wait for someone with relevant experience to comment. I think that Massimo hosts the documentation (aka the example app) on pythonanywhere, but you'll have to wait for his confirmation of that. > *Re: robots.txt* > If I put robots.txt in my static folder the URL will still have to be > *mysite.com/init/static/robots.txt > <http://mysite.com/init/static/robots.txt>* to reach it- this is the > issue I am trying to solve - I am trying have *mysite.com/robots.txt > <http://mysite.com/robots.txt>* > > In my cloud instance (which is native AWS linux), I have a routes.py that sets the default app (magic4.myemployer.com, so to speak) and have the robots.txt in myapp/static. I have confirmed with curl from another machine that that works as desired.
