Thanks for the responses guys. I read all of chapter 11 and I must say this is why I feel like really am missing something important in the grand scheme of things. I simply can not understand what it is I need to do.
I do not have root access so I can't do anything that requires it or sudo, so I looked on the SITE5 forums like was suggested and looked for a django setup thread. I found one and feel like I could follow its steps but honestly I just don't get what needs to be done for a web2py website to work and therefor I can not figure out the changes that need to be made. I need to use FCGI like Brian pointed out but I don't understand the contexts. Is there anyway someone could give me a rudimentary check list of what needs to be done for a website to work, and perhaps examples or specific links on how to do each step? What does a fcgi file need to look like for web2py? What files need to be directly in the www folder (public_html). -Ryan On Dec 4, 1:42 pm, Brian M <bmere...@gmail.com> wrote: > Check the site5 forums for hints, it looks like wsgi isn't available > on the shared hosting plans but fastcgi is.
