I just canceled my account. There is no way to get python 2.5 installed and there are issues with hashlib on version 2.4 with CRYPT so it was a bust for me. Too bad, their servers are fast. I'm going to skip making a slice but here's how I got it working:
1) Get them to install pysqlite, hashlib, MySQL-python, uuid and enable SSH access. 2) Install virtualenv wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-1.4.5.tar.gz tar xzf virtualenv-1.4.5.tar.gz python virtualenv-1.4.5/virtualenv.py $HOME/local 2a)Add it to your path PATH="$HOME/local/bin:$PATH" export PATH 2b) Create a .bash_profile in your home folder with the same two lines above 3) Download web2py_src.zip and extract to your web root. wget http://www.web2py.com/examples/static/web2py_src.zip unzip web2py_src.zip mv web2py/* public_html/yourdomain.com/ 4) Create a dispatch.fcgi in web root with the following content: #!/home/[username]/local/bin/python import sys from flup.server.fcgi_fork import WSGIServer import gluon.main application=gluon.main.wsgibase ## or # application=gluon.main.wsgibase_with_logging WSGIServer(application).run() 4b) chmod +x dispatch.fcgi 5) Create a .htaccess in the web root with the following content: AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^dispatch\.fcgi/ - [L] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi/$1 [L] Give it a try.
