how to use webpy's web.template.render() with a relative path when deployed on Apache

[吕仁坤]

The following code works using the development server but not when running on my Apache server.

render = web.template.render('templates/')
return render.index(self)

What I don't want to do is use an absolute path, because I'd like to be able to move my project files around without having to tinker with the code to keep it working.

Try this:

import os.path

root = os.path.dirname(__file__)
render = web.template.render(os.path.join(root, "templates/"))

but  the current python file  and 'templates' in different directory

What Anand posted will work. Your templates/ directory has to be in
the same root directory as the python file; otherwise the development
server would not have worked. If I'm mistaken, post your directory
tree for the project so we can see what's going on

hi Jason Macgowan:

This is  my  directory tree

root

----config

----------__init__.py

----------setting.py（the code in this file）

----templates

----------index.html/view.html e.g.

----static 

----------css,image e.g.

----main.py (from conifg import setting)

I wonder why that works with the dev server?

Anyway, just use this:

import os.path

root = os.path.dirname(__file__)

render = web.template.render(os.path.join(root, '..', 'templates/')) #
join is smart enough to know what you're trying to do

thanks very much,the problem solved .

and i  print  the  "os.path.join(root, '..', 'templates/')"   it's 'E:\pydemo\simpleTodo\config\..\templates/',and not 

'E:\pydemo\simpleTodo\templates'   ,so magic join,but how does it let the 'wrong path' effect?
