Thanks for your reply, but for some reason it is not working as stated.  I'm probably
missing something.

import cherrypy
from cherrypy import expose

class HelloWorld:


     @expose
     def hello(self,*another):
         if not another:
             return("hello")
         else:
             return("hello: %s" % str(another))


     @expose
     def index(self):
         return "Hello world!"


# at first I tried
cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld())

which works, off of http://localhost:8080/

and http://localhost:8080/hello
and http://localhost:8080/hello/more_stuff

works fine.

# so then I tried each of these (separately, of course)...
baseurl='http://localhost:8080/~bblais/apps'
cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld(),baseurl)

# then
baseurl='http://localhost:8080/bblais/apps'
cherrypy.quickstart(HelloWorld(),baseurl)


# finally,
root=HelloWorld()
cherrypy.tree.mount(root,'apps/')
cherrypy.server.quickstart()
cherrypy.engine.start()
cherrypy.engine.block()


In each case, there is similar behavior.  The script runs fine, and the Cherrypy 
gives the usual startup message, but nothing is printed when I access the above urls. 
  I know something is wrong, because cherrypy doesn't even log the events.  Without 
the baseurl specified, I get things like:

127.0.0.1 - - [23/May/2007:08:56:24] "GET /hello HTTP/1.1" 200 5 "" ""

whenever I access the site.  Specifying the baseurl, nothing.

Two more pieces of info.  When I start, I usually get:

The Application mounted at '' has an empty config.

which is solved by adding a config='hello.conf', where hello.conf is:

[global]
server.socket_host = "localhost"
server.socket_port = 8080
server.thread_pool = 10


even with that, I when I specify a baseurl (say, apps), I get:

The Application mounted at 'apps' has an empty config.


Is it missing something, that it can't make a default choice on?



		thanks for your help!
