Last week I upgraded my development environment from Mac OS X Mavericks - Python 2.7 - Web2py 2.14.5 to

Mac OS X Catalina - Python 2.7 - Web2py 2.14.5, since then I have the following issue:

Created by Massimo Di Pierro, Copyright 2007-2019
Version 2.14.5-stable+timestamp.2016.04.14.03.26.16
Database drivers available: sqlite3, imaplib, pyodbc, pymysql, pg8000

Illegal instruction: 4

It is nearly impossible to work with Web2py, when I start the server, after a few minutes Python quits with the Illegal Instruction 4 error.

Is there a way to fix this issue?

Kind regards,

Annet

You can probably solve this by simply using the source version of web2py.

Hi Leonel,

Thanks for your reply.

I am already running Web2py from source and I am using PostgreSQL 12.

Seems like more people are having the same problem both on Windows

and Mac. so far I haven't read a plausible solution.

Kind regards,

You have a very old version. We have not updated the Mac binary in long time because we thought nobody was using it.

I second the suggestion to run from source. That is what everybody does. But we will update the binaries.
