Having issue getting django working on shared hosting account

[Thomas Campion]

I tried following vendor instructions for installing located at
https://support.ehost.com/articles/employees/django-with-fastcgi

and cant seem to get anything to display. This is a cheap hosting account and support is non existent, though they do advise I should be able to run django here. Can someone take a look at the link and tell me if any steps are committed or seem wrong?

for this hosting account
the virtual environment gets created with Python 2.7.8
django appears to be ver 1.11.4


I've tried to follow several other pages on how to set up a jango site but have not been able to get anything beyond 500 or 404 errors

I think getting a django project to work correctly on a shared hosting account might be tricky. If you're open to switching hosting I've tried PythonAnywhere, Heroku, and DigitalOcean and definitely recommend DigitalOcean. I think the majority of django developers recommend DigitalOcean too. Good luck

Not surprising. Support for FastCGI was dropped by Django in version 1.9...

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/howto/deployment/fastcgi/#how-to-use-django-with-fastcgi-scgi-or-ajp

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/releases/1.9/#removed-features-1-9

I'd recommend going with one of the other hosting platforms with better support for a Django installation.

Linode is a better buy (more ram for the buck) than Digital Ocean. Both are good hosting companies.
