I sent this to Jason, what is wrong with this approach? At least he will have the minimal web2py instalation ready in little time...
---------- Forwarded message ---------- Hi, Jason, I have the Dreamhost account, also. I feel that installing and deploying web2py here is not an easy task. Let us see, what works for me as for now. I am not installing my own Python copy, use virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper. All i did, is here (assuming You are in home directory): mkdir bin in .bash_profile add: PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH (You will have python and another executables in ~/bin) You need to: source .bash_profile (or logout and login again). get http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-1.3.3.tar.gz tar xzf virtualenv-1.3.3.tar.gz python2.5 virtualenv-1.3.3/virtualenv.py $HOME (THIS python2.5 should be system python executable, i. e. /usr/bin/python2.5) rm -fr virtualenv-1.3.3 easy_install virtualenvwrapper mkdir .virtualenvs (in this directory You will keep all virtual environments) in .bash_profile add: export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs source $HOME/bin/virtualenvwrapper_bashrc ----------------------------------------------------------- easy_install Flup (this will call $HOME/bin/easy_install with Your python, $HOME/bin/python) mkvirtualenv web2py workon web2py ( You will see the changed prompt: (web2py)[capone]$ in my case) (jumping out of virtualenv is done by deactivate, if You need that) wget http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_src.zip cdsitepackages (it is equivalent to cd .virtualenvs/web2py/lib/python2.5/site-packages) unzip ~/web2py_src.zip python web2py.py -i 67.205.29.115 -p 8080 (this is the ip of my domain; the default port 8000 was unavailable, thus I choose another) and use webbrowser: http://yourIP:8080 Of course, You do not have administrative interface, see the wiki page You mentioned... If You get any further, I will be glad to hear from You :-) Michal --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
