> (As a small footnote, I have seen that most tutorials and directions
for web frameworks start with "installing on a new/clean machine",
which is very frustrating because 95% of the time that is simply not the
case...)
I think the reason is quite simple, it's very hard, if not impossible,
to make a installation manual for a none new/clean server. If it's not a
new/clean server then the server setup can be so different. It can
contain all kind of software and installation. If you install for
example web2py on an existing server you should have a basic knowledge
of the setup and then you have to modify the setup instructions to suit
your server setup.
