Hi Ales, thanks for the suggestion. I ran pythonservice.exe with the debug option and discovered the first problem was in my options.py file. I copied the options.py text in the web2py manual (http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/13) but the lines:
ssl_certificate = " ssl_private_key = " are actually a problem because those are unpaired double quotes. Then I got an error from not having the "profiler_filename" variable in options.py (the options_std of the latest source has this variable already). The "options.py" example of the documentation should be updated, because unless you use pythonservice.exe -debug the service fails silently (as far as I can tell). After fixing these problems I now have the problem you were referring to. "pythonservice.exe -debug web2py" now yields: C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\win32>pythonservice.exe -debug web2py Debugging service web2py - press Ctrl+C to stop. Info 0x400000FF - web2py server starting ERROR:Rocket.Errors.Port443:Socket USSTPLIION:443 in use by other process and it won't share. WARNING:Rocket.Errors.Port443:Listener started when not ready. I want Apache to control web2py. I do not want to have rocket involved. How do I prevent rocket from starting?
