The problem is that you have not uploaded files. You have the kept the
original filenames for the files. That breaks lot of mechanism since
from the name web2py cannot figure out which table and field reference
the file and therefore it cannot check permissions, etc.
You have two options:
1) keep the files with the current names.
a) change
db.define_table('Song',Field('Name','string'),Field('song','upload'))
into
db.define_table('Song',Field('Name','string'),Field('song','string'))
b) create an action
def get_file():
import os
path = os.path.join(request.folder,'uploads',request.args(0))
return response.stream(open(path,'wb'))
and in views link them with {{=URL('get_file',args=filename)}}
2) convert files using this script
---- begin script.py ----
for item in db(db.Song.id>0).select():
path = os.path.join(request.folder,'uploads',item.song)
if os.path.exists(path):
stream = open(path,'wb')
item.update_record(song=db.Song.song.store(stream,item.song))
---- end ---
run it ONCE with
web2py.py -S yourapp -M -N -R script.py
then access your files using the new name with:
{{=URL('download',item.song)}}
