Re: GeoDjangoFriendly?
After mulling over the pros and cons of Slicehost vs. Webfaction hosting for GeoDjango, I ended up going with Slicehost. I recorded the steps I used to setup GeoDjango on Slicehost in case anyone else wants to do the same... http://blog.tylerickson.net/2008/06/geodjango-on-slicehost-getting-started-1-of-4/ http://blog.tylerickson.net/2008/06/geodjango-on-slicehost-getting-started-1-of-4/ - Tyler Tyler Erickson-3 wrote: > > > Alex, > > I would be interested in hearing if your remaining issues with the > GeoDjango install get resolved. > > Following the WebFaction forum post, it looks like there is another > user with a successful GeoDjango install (overcoming a GEOS config > problem). > http://forum.webfaction.com/viewtopic.php?id=957 > > I'm still undecided on WebFaction vs. SliceHost... both seem to have > their advantages.

Tyler, I am still working with the folks there and they are working on some rock solid instructions for the whole process of building GEOS, Proj, and PostGIS on their servers. I got a message yesterday that they aren't quite there, though. > Following the WebFaction forum post, it looks like there is another > user with a successful GeoDjango install (overcoming a GEOS config > problem). > http://forum.webfaction.com/viewtopic.php?id=957 This did not solve my problems. From what I can tell, the problems may be related specifically to the server on which my account lives.

Re: GeoDjangoFriendly?
Alex, I would be interested in hearing if your remaining issues with the GeoDjango install get resolved. Following the WebFaction forum post, it looks like there is another user with a successful GeoDjango install (overcoming a GEOS config problem). http://forum.webfaction.com/viewtopic.php?id=957 I'm still undecided on WebFaction vs. SliceHost... both seem to have their advantages.

Re: GeoDjangoFriendly?
You can install anything you want on Slicehost or any other VPS; provided that you have enough linux skills to do everything yourself. There's plenty of help out there on the web, slicehost have some great tutorials for setting up your slice, and mod_wsgi is very easy to setup as a low memory alternative to mod_python. I have a 256MB slice, and for $20 per month it's excellent. If you can do it at home, you can do it on a VPS.

Re: GeoDjangoFriendly?
You may recognize my name from that forum topic. I've been working for over a week to get PostGIS installed correctly for my hosting at WebFaction. The support team is very responsive and helpful and we have worked through a lot of issues. That said, it still doesn't work correctly. This is definitely not something they seem to do a lot, so there's no set process to actually get everything working. It seems to be a one-off thing with a slightly different process for every user. I'd be glad to share what I've done to get thus far in the process, if you're interested. I want to reiterate that the support guys at WebFaction have really worked hard on this and have been very helpful. It just seems like it's something that's somewhat non-standard for them. Of course, if you have a slice at SliceHost, you can install anything you want. The limit is only your knowledge and capabilities. /alex On Sun, May 4, 2008 at 9:43 AM, Justin Bronn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Anyone have experience/opinions on hosting GeoDjango with PostGIS on > > WebFaction or Slicehost (or any other of the DjangoFriendly hosts)? > > I'm wondering if WebFaction shared account allows you enough freedom > > to install all the geodjango dependencies... > > While I don't personally use WebFaction and/or Slicehost, others have > mentioned they've had success running on WebFaction: > http://forum.webfaction.com/viewtopic.php?id=957 > > Because I'm not familiar w/the way WebFaction sets things up I'd try > the GeoDjango installation instructions first over what is posted in > that forum topic: > http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/GeoDjangoInstall > > -Justin > > > > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: GeoDjangoFriendly?
I don't know about specifically GeoDjango dependencies, but the Webfaction guys have been very responsive to my requests for additional Python module installations.

GeoDjangoFriendly?
Anyone have experience/opinions on hosting GeoDjango with PostGIS on WebFaction or Slicehost (or any other of the DjangoFriendly hosts)? I'm wondering if WebFaction shared account allows you enough freedom to install all the geodjango dependencies... --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
