Re: Django on Hostmonster shared hosting

[Gene]

I am currently running a django site successfully on HM shared
hosting.
As far as I can tell I am using the same setup as you- except that I
haven't yet upgraded to flup 1.0.3.
It looks like your troubles are just with the path, though the WSGI
errors trouble me.

I'll let you know if my site breaks after I upgrade flup later today.

Dj Gilcrease' experience with HM troubles me as well :/

But you're talking about making it a 'copy' of settings.py - it
shouldn't be a copy, it should *be* settings.py. And you mentioned
using the 'absolute path' in os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'].
This refers to a *Python* path, not a file system path. So if you've
set it to the value 'myproject.settings', Python will look for the
file 'settings.py' in the 'myproject' directory in one of the
directories on your Pythonpath.

Assuming your Django code lives under /home2/timatlee/djcode/mysite,
you must then have a myproject directory underneath mysite, which
contains your settings.py. If your settings.py is actually in the
'mysite' folder, then set the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE to simply
'settings'.

Also, make sure all your directories have __init__.py files in them.

I was with HM for 5 years running django for the last year, but
earlier this year they made a change to their setup that broke my
functional setup producing a very similar error (I had py25 instead of
26 though). I spoke with CS several times and they refused to do
anything to help me because they dont support django officially, so I
switched to WebFaction, price is a little more per month for less
resources, but they officially support django and are very helpful
even if you redesign your setup outside their own

Re: Django on Hostmonster shared hosting

[prabhu S]

in mysite.fcgi fix the settings file name.

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = "mysite.settings"

Your settings file is inside a directory called "mysite". It will help
if you quickly take a look at modules documentation in python.

Also your fcgi complains about several missing parameters. It may not
work correctly without them.

WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param REQUEST_METHOD required by WSGI!
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param SERVER_NAME required by WSGI!
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param SERVER_PORT required by WSGI!
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param SERVER_PROTOCOL required by WSGI!

Maybe a silly question, but you keep talking about
'myproject.settings' - do you mean this is what you've called the
file? That won't work at all. The settings should be called
settings.py, you don't need to copy/rename it. In the documentation,
'myproject.settings' refers to the settings.py file in the myproject
module/directory.
