[Twisted-web] starting up with twisted.web2

[Boh Yap]

hi,

I apologise for replying directly to Jp Calderone <exarkun at divmod.com>
instead of to the mailing list... new to all this (&gmail) and just
clicked reply ;-)

I am re-posting this to the list, with the hope someone could shed
some light on this...

Yes, am aware of that, am using Web2 with Twisted2, cldnt install otherwise.

Well the Web server generated form mktap was useful for experimenting
and testing.

Assuming I got the right things insatlled and running, the previous
questions still apply. Wld still need and appreciate answers for

 2.   I managed to build my resource apps. into python modules, but I
miss being able to get tracebacks on the browser for debugging. Can I
get the browser to display Tracebacks?


3.   What will be the root directory for the twisted web app, assuming
the app is in a dir. like:

           /var/www/html/,     and run with    twistd -ny someapp.py

      from that dir.

    I need this because my references to styles etc... no longer work.
I have tried defining
    first as relative, then as absolute paths, but it still dose'nt work.


4.  I can't seem to sepcifiy a path for the logfile, if I follow the
example given in the docs.
         site = server.Site(static.File(WWWROOT), logPath=LOGPATH)

     I get an error:
          Failed to load application: __init__() got an unexpected
keyword argument 'logPath'

Would appreciate it very much if soemone could shed some light on
this. Am starting on a new project and wld like to give twisted.web2 a
whirl...

When I get all this to work.. will do up some docs and post this up...
perhaps it could contribute to TechnoTurkey
<http://twisted.paisite.com> which I came across on this list..

thanks

boh.
