How to execute ocp in linux shared hosting with default python 2.4 and secondary version of 2.7?

[gunawa...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am using a linux shared hosting, without admin privilege. Both python ver 2.4 and 2.7 are installed, but the default version is 2.4.

./ocp fails to run, I presume because it is executed using ver 2.4. Is there a "easy" way to choose to execute it with ver 2.7?

I am a Linux noob :). Any support is appreciated.

Thanks,
Gunawan

Hi Gunawan,

The latest version of OCP is written in Go and comes in the form of a static binary. Most likely, your shared hosting provider isn't allowing you to run your own binaries. I think the best solution in your case will be to run the legacy version of OCP, which *is* written in Python: https://patrickmn.com/projects/ocp/legacy/. It will work with Python 2.7, and you should be able to run it with e.g. 'python2.7 ocp.py <insert sitemap URL and other arguments here>'

The legacy version has the same basic functionality as the Go one.
