If you've set up ssh, you can use that to have a console (terminal) session. From there, it is just like the examples in the book <URL:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/03/overview> except that for the admin interface you need to have web2py listening on a https: port (usually 443) or use ssh port forwarding to look like a local access. (there are a handful of posts in this group about port forwarding). The https: protocol requires a public key certificate on the server. If this is a development server, you can use a self-signed cert, or for a production server you can use one issued by your hosting service (if they do that), LetsEncrypt.org, or a commercial certificate authority. I haven't used Digital Ocean myself, but there are some folks around who have answered DO questions in the past. I don't know if the DO support staff is familiar with web2py. (Apparently, the staff at PythonAnywhere is familiar with our framework, but other hosting services may or may not be) Good luck, let us know how it goes, and if you have further questions try to be as specific as possible about what you tried, what happened, and what was supposed to happen. /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
