I've never tried this, but if I understand the documentation here correctly: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/howto/deployment/fastcgi/#running-django-on-a-shared-hosting-provider-with-apache you shouldn't need anything in particular. It looks like it's possible just to install flup locally as part of your Django install, and editing .htaccess to get Apache to rewrite requests so that they go there. Otherwise, if you do have to move, you could certainly do worse than Webfaction. -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
