Re: Installing Django @ Shared Host

[Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd]]

Unless they provide some sort of SaaS service where they take care of deployment for you, then you need shell access. There are plenty of Django friendly shared hosts if you are not comfortable deploying your own stack on a dedi/colo/IaaS cloud - see previous threads on this topic.

Personal advice - don't go with dreamhost... we had the misfortune of migrating our legacy customer apps from one of their crashed slices.. and the stupidly random timeouts and stack problems that were intermittent and impossible to debug.. not a fun experience.

Also, Python 2.5 is almost 6 years old now, and Django doesn't officially even support 2.5 any more.. you should consider moving to 2.6.6 as a minimum.

Hope this helps

Hi all,

I have a hosting service from ApolloHosting.com. I don't have SSH access neither unsecure telnet to my account.

I can FTP into my account. I have Python 2.5.

I'm under Linux.

Is there a way I could install django under these circunstances??

Best Regards,

De ninguna manera, lo mejor es que veas si el hosting soporta django, sino deberias cambiar de proveedor.

I recommend building your application locally (on your own computer). You can follow the tutorial and use Django's built in server for testing.

Once your application is ready to go live, then find a Django-Friendly host. They're not too expensive.

I wouldn't recommend getting a django-friendly host before you build your application because you may, or may not, decide that Django is right for you.

Good luck!
