To setup web2py on a Debian based machine (like Ubuntu for example) you do sudo apt-get -y install python sudo apt-get -y install postgresql8.1 sudo apt-get -y install python-psycopg2 sudo apt-get -y install unzip wget http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/examples/static/web2py_src.zip unzip web2py_src.zip cd web2py python web2py.py -a yourpassword -i 127.0.0.1 -p 8000 then open a browser and visit 127.0.0.1:8000 At this point you are still using sqlite but postgresql is running in background. To use postgresql: sudo -u postgres createuser -P -s -e [yourusername] createdb [yourdbname] and in your web2py models replace db=SQLDB('sqlite://db.db') with db=SQLDB('postgres://[yourusername]:[yourpassword]@localhost:5432/[yourdbname]') and everything should work. Mind that some table names and field names are allowed in sqlite but not in postgresql and vice versa.
