Re: Development server won't work from a shared web host

Well, that's almost true :-) Granted - it's a lot easier so far but I had to track down several things (and a whole lot of "here's how" tips) that were taken for granted (like pip which require easy_install so on and so forth). In retrospect, I recommend future newbee to take this route:

Re: Development server won't work from a shared web host

Hey, All you should need to get through the Django Tutorial is Python and Django. During development you can use SQLite which is built in and doesn't need any third-party libraries. Good luck! On Thu, Sep 6, 2012 at 1:23 PM, ecs1749 wrote: > Thanks. I might as well bite bits of it. It's tough

Re: Development server won't work from a shared web host

Thanks. I might as well bite bits of it. It's tough going because there are so many dependencies. It's hard to gather all of the right packages just to get through the Django tutorial. On Thursday, September 6, 2012 6:59:02 AM UTC-7, Demian Brecht wrote: > > You *can* install Django on Linux,

Re: Development server won't work from a shared web host

You *can* install Django on Linux, Mac or Windows. Choose the environment that you're most accustomed to if you're just trying to get things done. However, if you want to learn Linux at the same time (at least, bits of it), then I fully endorse going down that path. On Wed, Sep 5, 2012 at 9:19 PM,

Re: Development server won't work from a shared web host

Ok, ok. I now have a Ubuntu/server with a Ubuntu desktop running using oracle vm virtualbox. I know almost nothing about Linux. I don't even know how to ssh to this beast sitting in front of me. I hope this is a start... On Tuesday, September 4, 2012 9:19:57 AM UTC-7, Marcin wrote: > > Yo

Re: Development server won't work from a shared web host

You don't have a computer that you can develop on at all? How are you writing this email? Developing over ssh is going to be a huge pain. Now, you *maybe* can use the runserver command - if you do add the --help switch it will tell you how to run it to bind to a particular interface and port. It m

Re: Development server won't work from a shared web host

I don't have a local machine I can use to learn Django - just a personal acct from a shared host. The question I kept asking was: How do I get into admin and follow the tutorial without the development server because the tutorial doesn't tell me that. Regards, On Monday, September 3, 2012 11

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I saw that message. I am a bit lost where to go next if I completely ignore that tutorial regarding doing admin from the development server (which I don't have). Do I dive into tutorial #3 and hope that it will pick up the admin stuff later when it gets to talk ab

Development server won't work from a shared web host

I have Django working from a shared host account (westhost). I was able to follow all of the steps in tutorials 1 & 2 except the part on starting the development server. Apparently westhost won't let you run that. Without the development server, how do I access the Django admin functions? T
