Cannot Get Trivial routes.py Working

[Art Zemon]

Help! I feel like a dolt. I have a trivial routes.py installed in
DOCROOT/web2py/routes.py:

#!/usr/bin/python
default_application = 'gotosigns'
default_controller = 'default'
default_function = 'invalid'

If I visit https://web2py.hens-teeth.net/ , I end up at
https://web2py.hens-teeth.net/welcome/default/index instead of at
.../gotosigns/default/invalid

What am I doing wrong???
How do you debug routes.py?

Thanks,

As it was my first error IŽll pass it on to you. What version of web2py
are you using. If not trunk then the new router does not work as it is
in beta still.

Otherwise willŽll have till wait for more wiser guys.

This is an older feature. Should work.

Did you restart web2py?

A quick test is to insert a Python syntax error to make sure the file is being processed.

Jonathan,

That was it, THANK YOU! A quick Apache restart cured my ills. I didn't
realize that, when running web2py behind WSGI, the routes.py file was
only read once.
