Not Anable To Start Web2py to Access Admin & IDE Site

[dangeo]

Hello, I'm new to Web2py and just getting started with it. I downloaded python 2.7 and also Web2py from gighub and extracted the files. Using windows command line i tried launching Web2py with the following line: C:\Users\xxx> python27\web2py web2py.py but i get this message: The system cannot find the path specified.

Please, would someone help me understand what i am doing wrong and what would be the best way to do it that the admin and IDE site launches. I greatly appreciate your help.

Hi,

the error you're getting is because you've installed python 2.7 without adding it to the system's path - and so Windows cannot find it. See here or the second step here in order to fix it.

Also, (if you don't have any specific reason) for newbie I suggest to go directly with Python 3 because Python 2.x is on its end of life ;-)

Cheers,

Nico

Hi Nico,

Thank for having taken the time to review my request for help and reply to it.

It seems i can't run python 2.7 nor python 3.0 on my pc, getting an error message that tells these version of python can't run on my machine. Is there another i can proceed?

Thanks

Hi Georges,

this is quite strange. What version of Windows are you using? Is it 32 or 64 bit ?

Anyhow, you can download the "frozen web2py" from the official site or  my repo . Then run a CMD the command, goto the unzipped folder and run  "web2py -M -S test" in order to have the python prompt with the web2py modules loaded.

This should skip all the installation problem, except if you have a 32 bit OS.
