Hey Jean,
I use a link from init to my app as well. Works great for me. You just
need to set up your app name. I have not tried the routes way as of
yet.
Hi Chris,
Where do I set up the app name? I though that the app name was the name
of the app folder...

I agree, routes is tricky,
I tried a redirect that that calls /myapp when callingwww.mysite.com
but i only got it to redirect calls fromwww.mysite.comtowww.mysite.com/myapp/
without hiding the /myapp part
I know I will figure it out at some point, but web2py is "the easy
framework" and I guess this is the reason why so many people get a bit
frustrated with routes.py
I would suggest that routes.py is extended with more examples that
have minimal documentation
the examples should be the faq on this mailinglist

Sure but the conf of routes.py seems a bit tricky to me for now and the
time I understand it completly I prefer the init symlink that you propose.
Thanks

This is not a problem if you use routes.py

his mind, so we should just stop arguing the topic.

Just specify the app to load by default...

That works pretty much OK :
routes_in = (('/', '/yourappname/'),)
.... and don't forget routes_out, and routes_error ---- for this to
work like init or welcome, you have to think about it a bit.
While routes.py is _general_ it is not as simple& straightforward as
a command line or other kind of config option would be (note: there
are already configuration parameters currently held in parameters.py
---- Massimo is just against, I think, a rampant explosion of these -
wants to limit them).
Thadeus points out this: it's a very common request, an often used
thing (yes you _can_ just link or rename your app to applications/
init!!! and why wouldn't you???).
I have no problem to make symbolic link to init... The only drawback I
observe is that the name of the app becomes "init"... I probably just
have to change the layout and retag the app name I want... If it's the
way it have been figured I have no problem. I think the problem is just
that the doc is to weak about this particular aspect of the deployment
of web2py app. I will try to setup a blog and write my recipe that could
help other user.
I think the simpler solution (simpler than routes.py) is - when
deploying, link your app to applicaitons/init --- it is simple, it
will behave as you want, and the only "operating system" that I can
think of that doesn't have directory level symbolic links is
(possibly) Windows.
I think there are already 2 ways to do this, one flexible (routes),
one simple (link your app to init) - and the only possible complainers
would be those deploying on windows, and even for them a simple
solution is simply renaming their desired app to init.
As Thadeus points out (albeit for different reasons) there is no real
reason to argue this.
Done!

The only thing is the information should be made easily available in doc
in the deployment recipe section... Then when come the time to push a
site in prod the user has not to search or ask the mailing-list.
