Hard to say how URL rewriting would affect all this. Maybe I don't understand what you are doing or trying to do.
The SQLite DB for each app is usually in the app's "databases" directory. Have you done something to make each app use the same SQLite DB? How are your sym links set up? If you do something like this: $ ln -s applications/projectX2012 applications/projectX Then http://myserver.com/projectX and http://myserver.com/projectX2012 will be running the same app. Web2py thinks the symlink is just another app. On Friday, June 8, 2012 8:23:51 PM UTC-7, Doug Philips wrote: > > On Fri, Jun 8, 2012 at 8:12 PM, pbreit <pbreitenb...@gmail.com> wrote: > > You can certainly symlink to an application.
