4. Per instructions at djangoproject.com for "Installing an official

authentication failed (and for what reason, I have no idea, as I used
the same password), I ran "python setup.py install" instead.
5. A lot of stuff went by on the screen, and I saw that one of the
last lines said that the command to modify "python/site-packages" (OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT, SO PLEASE DON'T QUOTE ME) had failed due to
denial of permission.
Unless you have root on the server, which I suspect yo don't have since
you're most likely have a shared hosting account, you won't be able to
install Django that way because you won't have sufficient permissions to
be able to install libraries into the global Python site-packages
directory. You will need to use something like virtualenv but even then,
it might not be possible to install Django on that particular server
because it may not have all the dependencies you need to create a
virtual Python environment. It's best that you use a Django-friendly
hosting provider. The Django wiki has lots of them and you're always
welcome to contact me off-list, too. We host Django apps we build and
for other developers so we can get going quickly.
