Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to Ubuntu/Linux, and I'm familiar (although with very short experience) with web2py and python; my background is Smalltalk.
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid) on my local computer, and then proceeded to install web2py (based on web2py instructions in chapter 11): wget http://web2py.googlecode.com/hg/scripts/setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh chmod +x setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh sudo ./setup-web2py-ubuntu.sh I can open firefox on 'localhost', and it successfully opens web2py. I can also get to the admin area when using httpS. But I can NOT create new applications - I get the following error: unable to create application "x" I can see the following in my environment: + no 'welcome.w2p' file. + no 'deposit' folder. + no 'site-packages' folder. + 'NEWINSTALL' file does exist, empty. + 'parameters_443.py' file does exist. I read that executing the following helps, but no luck for me: python web2py.py -a "hello" I get the following error: OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'deposit' Can you please help me with this issue?. Thanks in advance, Lobo
