I figured the problem out, it was missing the upload folder. I didnt
copy that folder and the database over because the data on my computer
was test data and i didnt want to over write the real data on the
server. once i created the upload folder it works fine.
Would it be a good idea to have web2py check for the uploads folder
and create it if needed to prevent a similar problem from happening
again?

thanks for your help.
