Since you have the problem with both cherrypy and rocket I suspect
that this may be a database locking issues caused by cron. Even it you
only have @reboot, still cron runs and every minute it check what
needs to be done. I suggest try disable it completely and see what
happens. In web2py.py replace
gluon.widget.start(cron=True)
with
gluon.widget.start(cron=False)
Let us know.
