>> problem is I don't know where to put the file .htaccess ?
I am new and I don't know how to do things properly. But for testing I
have installed web2py on alwaysdata 10M free server as follows:
1. Under their /www folder I have /www/web2py with standard web2py
tree, include my application mywebapp
2. In addition I have folder /www/web2py/public
3. In alwaysdata administration, section Domains, I have the entry:
Name=mywebapp.alwaysdata.net, Path=/www/web2py/public
4. In /www/web2py/public I have .htaccess and web2py.cfgi
5. In addition I have folder /www/web2py/public/mywebapp/static with
all static files (instead off /www/web2py/applications/mywebapp/
static)
** Here is .htaccess:
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ web2py.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]
** Here is web2py.cfgi:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys
_PROJECT_DIR =
os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
sys.path.insert(0, _PROJECT_DIR)
os.chdir(_PROJECT_DIR)
import gluon.main
import gluon.contrib.gateways.fcgi as fcgi
fcgi.WSGIServer(gluon.main.wsgibase, environ={'web2py_path':
_PROJECT_DIR}).run()
