Hello,

I'm having troubles to set up my web environment using a noob account ... [] After setting up my web app with web2py, the link to the web page appears but it leads to a 404 not found error page. Is this normal ?

I tried several times by deleting the web app and running a rm -rf web2py in my home directory using a bash console ... I did not get any error during any of those configuration processes ...

Thank you for your help.

[Please I wanna py !!]

Ah, interesting! That looks like it's a problem on our side that's been triggered by your username -- we used to have a try.pythonanywhere.com domain which pointed to a "teach yourself Python" course that we'd written. Eventually we got rid of it, but it looks like we'd left the try.pythonanywhere.com configuration that pointed that domain at the now-non-existent page.

I've deleted the old configuration and once that's had a chance to propagate (it might take a little while, depending on your ISP) then your site should work.

Alternatively, if you don't have anything in your account yet then you could try signing up with a different username.

Thank you for your quick reply !

Ain't your system going to act like "Hey this e-mail is already linked to an existing account !" if I sign in again with the same e-mail address ?

I haven't any work in progress on it so far ... Can you just void my current account ?

Thank you.

You don't need to re-sign up. That's just an option, if you want to and it will be fine with having multiple accounts with the same email.

However, that shouldn't really be necessary. Now that we've removed the DNS entry, everything should work fine.

All right then, thank you for availability !

I set up my app again ... Now I get another message : "no such forward entry"

Any idea ?

Thank you.

try.pythonanywhere.com seems to be serving a web2py app fine. Where are you seeing the "no such forward entry" error exactly?

Hello,

The message I was talking about has now disappeared ... Some cache might not have been refreshed straight after the Web2py installation process I guess.

Thank you for handling this thread.
