Hi Massimo, I deploy an application by following the documentation
this way:
1 - send web2py for the root, and create a diretory caled /public in
the root too
2 - create a file called web2py.fcgi, in /public dir, with this
content
#!/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()
3 - set permission to run the file: chmod +x web2py.fcgi
4 - create a file .htaccess in /public with this content:
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ web2py.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]
5 - Now, go into your admin panel, in the left side menu, click on
Domains. On the screen that opens, you will see the path to the root
of your application, click Edit and change the path to your directory /
public. If you sent the files to the root, the configuration should
look like this: /www/public/
it is (http://tuxtilt.alwaysdata.net/)
