Yes. However, "installed" is a multi-faceted term. To make django accessible, all you have to do is unpack (or svn check-out) the contents of the django version you want into a place on the server. However, after this ever-so-complex "installation" there's the added complexity of *configuring* the installation so that your hosting service can find it. > I have a shared hosting plan and do not have SU rights SU? "Set up"? "Super User"? "Shenandoah University"? :) Several key ingredients need to be in place to configure Django: -a web server interface: either mod_python enabled version of Apache, or FCGI (not old-school "CGI") with the permission to use long-running processes -if using FCGI, you need to make sure you have access to the "flup" module -you need to make sure that when you bind your settings for your server, that the unpacked Django "installation" is in your $PYTHONPATH (usually added in an apache/lighty config file somewhere) Without knowing a bit more about your server configuration, and how far your attempts have gotten, it's hard to offer much more help > please advise And just as a side note/meta-commentary, I really hate this phrase. It's joined management buzz-words/phrases like "paradigm", "action item", "synergy", "customer-centric", or "win-win". In my mind, it roughly translates as "My time is much too valuable or I simply can't figure this out, so I'm making it your problem, consuming your [less valuable] time, and holding you responsible for finding a solution." I need to create a filter in my mailer at work that simply does a carte-blanche replacement "please advise" with the above definition. :) </vitriol> -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
