Thanks, Christopher and Miguel. I will try a different port. Actually on Wing I started to get a similar error about nothing listening (and then an exit). But this was after the web2py pop-up where I can enter the port. I had just read your replies so I tried port 8080 and that did it. Thank you!
I tried again on Eclipse but it won't even get to the point of bringing up the web2py window where I can set the port. I will try Aptana - I believe I already downloaded it.
