How do you install Django on a shared hosting without root access?

[Dan Santos]

Hi I'm confused about how to setup Django on my shared hosting account without using root.  They don't have Django or Python support so I will have to install everything from scratch I guess.

Do I install things in this order for shared hosting, or have I messed up the order when not using root?

1. Python 2.7

2. virtualenv.py

http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/index.html

3. (ENV1)$ pip install django

Hi, the host needs to specifically say they support python, then you know wsgi works with them. Check out webfaction.com

I forced my local web host (twisted their arm) and the day after they created a new procedure for setting up Django without having to use root access.

Problem solved :)

[Gerald Klein]

What host?

Sorry I celebrated too early :( not sure if my local webhost can pull it of entirely?
But they have been very forthcoming so far.

I've just got SSH access with limited privileges.  And saw that I only have Python 2.4 and Django 1.3.
But I want to run Django 1.4.
And I couldn't setup virtualenv.py properly when I ran it on my shared hosting account :(
http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/index.html

It's not easy setting up Django on shared hosting, so much troubles. :(

1.)

When I do this then I get a bunch of cryptic outputs and "sh: command not found" errors.

And the file isn't downloaded to the host where I executed this command.

However the same command worked on my local PC.

When I ran this command as instructed by this webpage then nothing is downloaded and I get an error I don't understand "bash: /dev/stdin: No such file or directory"
