Probably nobody or www. A simple way to try and find out is using 'ps axu | grep httpd'; the first column should give you the user (I don't have access to an Ubuntu distribution, otherwise I could tell you straight away; but Google or the Ubuntu website can also tell you I guess). Of course, you can always use root to compile .py files, that'll "bypass" permissions; but see Malcom's comments. > Would I have to run compileall.py every time I change a source file > (it seems like I would have to)? Possibly, but you'd only want to serve files through apache + mod_python that aren't going to change much (eg, Django, although that should just live in the Python site-packages dir); every change also involves restarting apache for example. Better to sort everything out using the dev-server, then copy files and run compileall. You'd then only run compileall for (major) upgrades; not for every single source file change. > I couldn't get compileall.py to work on the command line... Tried > 'compileall.py' and 'compileall'. What am I doing wrong? compileall comes with the Python source distribution, which is probably hidden away in a tar file on your server, if anywhere at all. If your database is working, try a 'locate compileall.py' Otherwise, if it's not there, grep a Python source distribution (preferably one that agrees with your Python version) and use the one included with that. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
