I recently installed Django on Dreamhost, following the great instructions here: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Django. The installation worked fine, but any change I make to an app takes hours to register on the Web. It seems to be an fcgi or caching problem, possibly not reloading myproject.settings upon reload of the page.
To test, I altered the line os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] ='myproject.settings' in django.fcgi, changing 'myproject.settings' to something invalid. As it should have, the page gave me an error on reload. I then changed ' myproject.settings' back to normal, and my changes appeared immediately -- I'm guessing because it was forced to reload the settings file. Any idea how to fix this? I'm running Django on a subdomain, with all the files in the home directory. I'm also new to this. Mercy would be appreciated. Thanks, Chase
