How to rename the app from /eden/(default)/(index) to /someName/(default)/(index)

Its easy to rename an app. Its use can be for displaying through appName for a site, for example host.domain/appName, where 'appName' = 'someName'

To rename the app, follow the following three steps:

- Rename the folder under web2py/applications/eden to web2py/applications/SomeName

- Change the name under web2py/routes.py to someName, and

- The management scripts [http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/InstallationGuidelines/Linux/Server] need updating (/usr/local/bin)

- Check the uwsgi error log file (tail -f -n 45 /var/log/uwsgi/prod.log). Check if the app name is hardcoded (which should not be), I got the message as:


{{{
EOFError: EOF when reading a line
OOOPS mule 1 (pid: 12241) crippled...trying respawn...

application eden does not exist, create (y/n)?Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "run_scheduler.py", line 16, in <module>
    run('eden',True,True,None,False,"from gluon import current;
current._scheduler.loop()")
  File "/home/web2py/gluon/shell.py", line 208, in run
    'application %s does not exist, create (y/n)?' % a)
}}}

For this error, use:

cat /home/web2py/run_scheduler.py [[br]]
-CUT- [[br]]
# Start Web2py Scheduler -- Note the app name is hardcoded! [[br]]
