Right: he didn't ask about running it on CGI; it was just stated that running it on CGI is his only option, and it's such a nasty one that he ought to consider changing providers. # I believe that there is / will be shared webhosting with mod_python # / fastcgi support. (At least he can ask admin of LJW, who posted the # offer somewhere here :) Yeah, several providers do exist: http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoFriendlyWebHosts # 2. mod_python on shared webhosting requires restart of Apache, when django # models change in order to take effect. # 3. httpd.conf on shared webhosting is not available (for custom change) # # If we deal with #2 and #3 Django can be more adopted. I don't see these as restricting adoption, but I don't know the stats for how many people in shared environments would make use of django. These things are obviously more a property of the hosting environments than of how django is designed. Django already provides a long list of configuration options to solve this problem. If one's hosting provider isn't sufficiently accommodating... -- Jonathan Daugherty http://www.parsed.org
