I've managed to successfully install django running fcgi on my shared host, but I've got to warn you, it's not usually an easy path. Took me ages.
It's usually much, much easier to use a django-friendly host such as webfaction, but anyway, here a couple of points from a non-expert. 1) Are you typing "http://<yourDomainName>/home/pri*****/public_html/ django.fcgi/visual******/" or "http://<yourDomainName>/django.fcgi" into your browser? Your error message seems to suggest you're using the former instead of the latter. Should be the latter, but... 2) I don't think the latter would work anyway. The usual setup is to have a .htaccess file in your public_html directory with a mod_rewrite rule that takes all requests to your domain, and redirects them to your django.fcgi file, which then spawns the fcgi process that django runs within. Don't forget that the django.fcgi file needs to have permissions that allow it to be executed. If you've got time to burn and want to learn the hard way (not always a bad thing :) ), then keep going down the fcgi route. If you want to get up and running on a shared host quickly, find someone who runs a more django friendly setup, which usually involves using mod_python.
