Still no solution to this. I would really like not having to switch between Rocket and Apache each time I want to look at the help or examples.
Error 503 is Apache saying that the server can't respond to the client. In the Apache error log, I have the following when I attempt to access help or run the examples app: [Sat Jan 14 14:02:26 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration: C:/web2py/wsgihandler.py, referer: http://127.0.0.1/welcome So, Apache/mod_wsgi is properly dispatching to python and wsgihandler.py is obviously the first stop. But, then web2py fails to respond back to Apache. Note that all the other apps including the two I've started all work properly. My theory on memory seems to be wrong: with the whole stack running(xampp, apache, python, web2py), Windows reports 2G. That's certainly enough for some small caches and any transient memory use. So, I wonder if there is something wrong with routes, even though I didn't touch it. What is different about the help and examples app? I can't figure it out other than some links go back to www.web2py.com and many of the functions are cached via function decorator in the controller. Any help would be appreciated as I am stuck and this seems to be an uncommon problem.
