I see there are many emails about problems with shared hosting.

I want to deploy a web2py site (my first one) on a shared host (Debian
Etch with python2.4 as default python).

Python 2.5 is also available and I have succeeded in installing a 2.5
version of mod_wsgi for apache2 on the system.

I want the site to use https.

I have tried the following configuration:

<VirtualHost *:443>
WSGIScriptAlias /linuxspan /home/linuxspan/public_html/web2py/wsgihandler.py
WSGIDaemonProcess web2py user=linuxspan group=linuxspan
home=/home/linuxspan/public_html/web2py processes=1
maximum-requests=1000
        ServerAdmin jsp...@sun.ac.za
        SSLEngine On
        SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/www2ipsca.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/www2ipsca.key
        DocumentRoot /home//linuxspan/public_html/pikkewyne/applications
</VirtualHost>

But <VirtualHost *:443> - setup cannot be use for ssl on a shared
host. At least that is what the main administrator for the server told
me.

So what are my alternatives?

* I could not find any howto on how to use fastcgi web2py and apache2
in a shared environment.
* mod_python will not work because it will start the python2.4 interpreter.
* Is there a way to make wsgi work in a setup like this?
* Is it possible to use mod_proxy in this setup with https?

My knowledge of .htaccess is limited.

I would appreciate help in this regard.

Regards
Johann
