Thank you for the suggestion! This gave me the clue I needed to solve the problem.
The server was configured to look for files in /home/james/web2py. I did the new installation to /home/james/web2py_new. So it couldn't find them. When I rename the old instalation, and renamed the new to web2py, everything worked! Thank you very much.
