Seen that. > > Pleas: > 1) Are there any users out there who got Django working on Dreamhost > who can share the secret? How do you make it work? Yes. First of all, fastcgi is a pain in the rear. Maybe it's just how Dreamhost has it setup, but it's quirky as anything. 1) When you're trying to get your app working, assuming you've followed the instructions precisely, check your permissions. I believe I have my file permissions all set to 755. And you probably want to make sure the user for that domain is the same user who owns your files. I suspect this probably isn't your problem since you are getting the incomplete header thing. That seems like it's at least attempting to execute. 2) Kill all of your fcgi processes and wait 15 minutes before trying again. This seems to have been the majority of my problem. I think Dreamhost has some fastcgi process monitor setup to not allow fastcgi processes to die and spawn back too quickly. Also, sometimes after you get the incomplete header, if you make the request again, it just magically works. > 2) Since Dreamhost supports FCGI "only for use with Ruby on Rails," > should they be on the list > (http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoFriendlyWebHosts) of > Django-supporting hosts? Yes, because Django will work, but I don't think the official policy of Dreamhost is to support Django apps like it will Dreamhost. >I chose them because they appeared here on > the list and fit my (admittedly pitiful) student budget... Hee hee. Likewise, here, only I'm not a student. > 3) Please forgive my creation of yet another newbie Dreamhost post if > you're not involved.

I've been moderately unhappy at times with my Dreamhost account. I'll have to do some soul-searching when my year is up as to whether I want to renew with them. Hope this has been of even a small amount of value. - jmj --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
