Hi Massimo. Thanks for the reply. I DID do what you said to do. Here are the commands i ran.
[web2py]$ echo '' > NEWINSTALL [web2py]$ ls anyserver.py gaehandler.py options_std.py setup_exe.py appengine_config.py gluon parameters_80.py setup.py app.example.yaml __init__.py queue.example.yaml site-packages applications isapiwsgihandler.py README splashlogo. gif cgihandler.py LICENSE router.example.py VERSION CHANGELOG logging.example.conf routes.example.py web2py.py deposit logs scgihandler.py wsgihandler. py epydoc.conf Makefile scripts epydoc.css modpythonhandler.py setup_app.py fcgihandler.py NEWINSTALL setup_exe_2.6.py [web2py]$ cd .. [w2p27]$ ls apache2 htdocs web2py web2py_src.zip [w2p27]$ cd apache2/bin [bin]$ ./stop [bin]$ ./start [bin]$ cd ../../web2py [web2py]$ ls anyserver.py gaehandler.py options_std.py setup_exe.py appengine_config.py gluon parameters_80.py setup.py app.example.yaml __init__.py queue.example.yaml site-packages applications isapiwsgihandler.py README splashlogo. gif cgihandler.py LICENSE router.example.py VERSION CHANGELOG logging.example.conf routes.example.py web2py.py deposit logs scgihandler.py wsgihandler. py epydoc.conf Makefile scripts epydoc.css modpythonhandler.py setup_app.py fcgihandler.py NEWINSTALL setup_exe_2.6.py I still don't see any *welcome.w2p* in the *web2p*y directory. In addition, i think the purpose of the $ echo '' > NEWINSTALL command was to create the NEWINSTALL file. However, i am NOT sure, but i believe, that file already existed as shown by the $ ls of the web2py directory in my original post. Is there something else I need to do? Thanks in advance.
