The server in question is indeed a linux one. If you'd like I can link to the host we are looking at, though you may need google translate:
http://www.8-host.net/kongjian/python/100m/ And here is the software they currently have on their python servers (in addition to py25-MySQLdb, py25-django, py25-imaging, py25- pysqlite, ImageMagick 6.3.x, GraphicsMagick 1.1.x): http://www.8-host.net/eggs/ The hosting company seems to be a little flexible on possibly installing an app or two, but I gather asking them to install a whole plethera of apps including an alpha of satchmo might be pushing things a bit much. The business reason we aren't going with VPS, is that we are a new web development company in a more remote city in China, seeking to help the local community. Local businesses are not often willing to pay the extra premium for VPS hosting, and even if they were, they wouldn't be able to maintain the server themselves as easily - thus forcing us to do more maintainance in the long run. It'd be much easier if we could reliably get a satchmo app running on one of these shared packages, and then be easily able to reporoduce the functionality for each customer. Help me out here, guys - just telling me I have to have a VPS for each customer is essentially saying that I have to switch our shop to PHP. Trust me - I don't want to hear that. ;-) On Dec 7, 12:18 am, Stuart Laughlin <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry for the non-answer, but is linux an option at all here?
