Thanks for the reply Massimo. It has only just 'clicked' for me how easy it is to put up a site on a Linux VPS (as long as it is not running any other web server / sites). I'm not expecting much traffic so there's no need for me to worry about Apache / mod_wsgi and I have no need to run appadmin on the public server. It really is as simple as downloading web2py, removing welcome app and examples, uploading my app and then starting web2py with:
python web2py.py --ip=0.0.0.0 --port=80 (as explained here: http://wiki.web2py.com/Command_Line_Flags_and_Arguments) Or to make sure web2py starts with the server, using the supplied web2py.ubuntu.sh or web2py.fedora.sh and updating DAEMON_ARGS with the above port an ip options. (Note - important not to confuse the above ubuntu file with setup-ubuntu-web2py.sh...) This makes deploying a low traffic site (e.g. personal blog) remarkably easy. Unless I'm missing something, I wonder if this should be made clearer in the book / docs somewhere? It's certainly an attractive way to get something public up and running quickly on a cheap VPS plan.
