I made a minimalist web2py that works great. Here are step by step instructions:

1) Register with

http://www.alwaysdata.com/

and get a free account (10MB) Let's say your domain is test1. Then you

have an account test1, a user group test1 and a url: http://test1.alwaysdata.net

(.net, not .com). Give it a try before you install web2py.

2) Visit https://admin.alwaysdata.com/domain/ and replace /www/ with /web2py/

3) Login into your account

ssh te...@ssh.alwaysdata.com

4) Type

wget http://web2py.com/examples/static/web2p … 1.98.2.zip

unzip web2py_src_min_1.98.2.zip

rm web2py_src_min_1.98.2.zip

chmod +x web2py/web2py.fcgi

chmod -R g+rw web2py

Done!

Try it at

http://test1.alwaysdata.net

Mind web2py takes about 2MB and you have ~8MB left for applications.

There is no admin (the web based IDE), no welcome, no example, no soap, no pyfpdf, no

populate. Appadmin (the web based database interface) is there but you must enable it since normally it requires https.

I do not yet know how to setup https.

Important:

In this example I have used web2py_src_min_1.98.2.zip but this version may be replaced by a more recent and better minimalist version. Check on web2py google group (http://groups.google.com/group/web2py) for a more recent version.
