A skeleton Flask, CherryPy, MongoDB app.

• Flask, easy_install flask
• CherryPy WSGI Server, easy_install cherrypy (for production)

• Run the install script python install.py and choose the port the app will run at (default is 5000)
• Configure MongoDB database settings in config.py (optional)

The app can be run through the Werkzeug WSGI server that comes with Flask. To run it, execute python flask_app.py. Provided you have set DEBUG = True in your config.py file, this option will give you an interactive debugger and your app will be reloaded if changes to source files are detected.

1. Run ./start_server.sh. This will launch cherryd with settings coming from cherrypy.conf that uses an 'in-between' script create_flask_app.py to attach the Flask Object to the server
2. A file, cherrypy.pid will be created that has the id of the process running
3. Calling ./stop_server.sh will read the .pid file and kill the process waiting for child threads to terminate
