Yarko, thanks for detailed description, but it's not a problem.
If there were no parameters_xxx.py file, I could not log in admin
interface. The problem is, that I can log in, but admin is unable to
create new application.
At the end of setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh file we can find:
cd /home/www-data/web2py
sudo -u www-data python -c "from gluon.main import save_password;
save_password(raw_input('admin passw
ord: '),443)"
This line asks for password and writes it in parameters_443.py file.
Running ./web2py creates: deposit/, site-package/, parameters_8000.py
and welcome.w2p
(BTW: As you can see default port is 8000)
Looks like as long as you don't run ./web2py, admin can't find
welcome.w2p to scaffold.
