fatal: destination path 'py4web' already exists and is not an empty directory

[RichardBH]

When I go to clone the git repo, it fails because there is already a folder called py4web which is where the bottle.py file exists form the previous step.

In a section further down you mention to change the project_home from '/home/your_username/mysite', therefore the first step when you set up the new bottle project may be to leave it as the default mysite?

The problem then is that the bottle.py file wont exist in py4web as it will be in mysite.

But Vim or Nano will create a new blank one that you can copy the details into.
This worked well for me.

Not sure I'm understanding this? Could not duplicate in my walk through the amended tutorial (thanks) today.

I think by changing the order of git cloning first, this is no longer an issue. I will test again.
