Hello guys, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to install a Django app on a shared hosting (servage.net).
The support people, even though they're very friendly an all, don't know crap about Django or how to install it. They're OK for normal tasks, but it gets a little deeper, they forward my request to a 'Senior' tech, and that can take a full day until the ticket gets answered (usually unsuccessfully). The problem is, I'm stuck with them and must get this app to work VERY soon (remember, perfectionists with deadlines?). I really want this to happen, since the alternative is to continue regurgitating C# crap that I'm just sick and tired of. So, enough of ranting. Can anybody direct me into a step-by-step explanation of the install process? I've look here (http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/fastcgi/) but I just don't know what to do. I tried the last entry (create .htaccess and mysite.fcgi), but to no avail -- I don't really know how to test or see whether Django is installed, running, or whatever. Since I don't have shell access (they don't support ssh for 'security reasons'), I understand I won't be able to use manage.py, so "syncdb" will have to be via phpMyAdmin or similar, and so on. Here's what I did: * Downloaded the latest DJango snapshot onto $webroot/django_src * Created a file for my project at $webroot/avtopage I don't really know how to continue. Questions arising are: * How do I tell the installed Python to 'see' django_src? If that's thru symlinking to $python/site-packages/, the tech support guys told me they can do it. * What do I do to have my 'avtopage' directory (accesible via http://domain/avtopage) to be Django-enabled? ... but I'm sure I'm missing something big here. (it shows it used the development server to work on the app, doesn't it?) I just don't know where to look, sorry to sound so whiny, but I don't have anybody else to turn to but you, the community. Thanks for the time to read this, and if you can help me out, you don't know how big of a Django evangeliser you'll find in me! (at least in Slovenia, where I'm currently based) =) Best regards and thanks a million, -- Carlos Yoder http://carlitosyoder.blogspot.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
