I actually got fed up, and nearly resolved to switch either frameworks(pylons, turbogears) or webhosts(webfaction, dreamhost).
I deleted everything in a fit and started doing some research. I ran across this in a python installation guide: "At this point, every tutorial around the web will tell you to use flup and then there will be pain and hair pulling because you won't understand why it's not working (unless you ask Allan Saddi to check your setup, that is. Thank you Allan!). The solution is to use the supposed to be obsolete fcgi.py script, so let's install it: The problem with flup (as found by Allan itself) is that it takes too long to start and it seems that FastCGI on Dreamhost will wait for a maximum of 3 seconds. fcgi.py instead is simpler (doesn't do thread pooling for example) and therefore faster to start. " What ended up working was simply downloading fcgi.py into my webroot. Not entirely sure why (and I'm ok with that for now), but it works like a dream. I do appreciate your responses regardless. Thank you. And David, you might want to check out http://www2.jeffcroft.com/blog/2006/may/11/django-dreamhost/. It's a tutorial for getting started with Django on Dreamhost, but is excellent and cross-applicable. The only difference is that dreamhost and ASO handle subdomain differently, so where he writes ~/ django.mydomain.com, substitute ~/www/django (which is automatically created for you when you create the django.mydomain.com subdomain in cPanel) On Oct 2, 11:19 pm, "Horst Gutmann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Have you already tried it with method=prefork instead of method=threaded? > > 2007/10/2, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > > I'm exactly there with you, David.
