Thank you for your reply. Aldo my first reply suggested that I wanted to seperate the admin app. This not my intention. With web2py-<appname>.deb was for verified user apps from web2py.com.
But still your interpretation of it ain't an wrong idee. For securite and vps reasons/situations it's required to run in there own directory. So if possible, we could link the application to user directory which means that every user that is running web2py will get a web2py directory. somethink like. /home/<user>/web2py/ which contains a symlink to following directories /usr/local/bin/web2py/gluon/ /usr/local/bin/web2py/scripts/ and the following files /usr/local/bin/web2py/web2py.py and all other user independent files /*massimo knows which files that would be create directory /home/<user>/web2py/application put a symlink to /usr/local/bin/web2py/application/admin/ then put under /home/<user>/web2py/ parameters_8000.py Then create a start up entry for that user. There are a few problems with this plan. Does every user has his own web2py? Has web2py problems with symlinks? Is the symlink a real bottleneck for web2py and should there be a hardlink? Are the directories accoording the ubuntu guidlines? I fairly interested in your opinion. regards Mark Breedveld, On Mar 21, 1:15 pm, Dima Barsky <d...@debian.org> wrote: > On Mar 20, 5:01 pm, Mark Breedveld <m.breedv...@solcon.nl> wrote: > > > The web2py community is searching help ondebian/ ubuntu packaging. > > The are concrete plans to deploy web2py as Turnkey Appliance. > > Mark, > > I'll see what I can do, although it might be not straightforward. > There is no clear separation in web2py between the library code and > the user code.
