If you're using virtualenv, you should use 'source bin/activate' to activate the virtual environment and use its path definitions. Note that both of the guides you link to are written for the normal Dreamhost shared hosting, rather than the private server. Since on PS you have root access, you should just be able to follow the standard Django installation instructions. -- DR. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
