Hi Lucas, I found deploying on Centos 5 very hard work. I tried all the methods in the book, and none worked for me. I tried Cherokee and would not recommend that route.
nginx with uwsgi was relatively straightforward and is very fast. Here are some useful links https://library.linode.com/web-servers/nginx/python-uwsgi/centos-5?format=source http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5335153/how-to-deply-web2py-using-nginx http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/4350a3b6836f9dd4 It is important to ensure that compile everything with the same version of python. This was tricky because on my system there was plesk, and this needed an earlier version of python, so there had to be more than one version on the system. I used python 2.6 for all the compiling, this worked well. Good luck.
