Thanks for the suggestions. I finally managed to get: - Apache upgraded to 2.0 (as 2.2 barfed on compile) moved to /var rather than the default deployment directory in /usr (which will be locked down, mounted readonly) - mod_python installed - freetds (for talking to SQLServer) - pymssql (for interfacing python and freetds) - postgresql (the eventually planned target for deployment) - django (both the trunk and row-level-permissions branch, with soft-links to make it easy to switch between them) all on the system. It wasn't a facile process, especially after chasing down a dark path of trying to get iODBC+freetds+mxODBC working to talk to SQLServer. A nightmare, that. FreeTDS+pymssql is much kinder for such purposes. Apache is now configured to serve two django folders via django+mod_python, and serve general media (and the admin media) from a non-django'd directory. I should image the bloody drive now before I break it again :) It also took a few tries to get the syntax of the section in httpd.conf file right, so that files were in the right place, with and without various levels of path/ext (and using dots vs. slashes in various places). Perhaps a little expansion in the online-help could help slower folks like myself. :) All the config files have been snapshotted at least, using the venerable RCS. I'd still be interested in getting lighttpd+fastcgi/WSGI working just to prove it's possible (and perhaps to compare speed).
