Re: Issue Deploying Django

Dont forget ask to webfaction about it too before you buy the package, you have root access in WF and you can install whaterver you want I guess. Anyways ask WF support. http://www.webfaction.com?affiliate=lacunza Saludos / Best regards Mario Lacunza Email:: mlacu...@gmail.com Personal

Re: Issue Deploying Django

Thank you mark for the great response. Let me add on to the reason I started this thread for any who missed it. I need to be able to have the capability to install geospatial libraries such as GEOS, PROJ, PostGIS, and possibly GDAL. On my current host i do not have root privleges and so if for

Re: Issue Deploying Django

Like William, I'd have to say I've had pretty good luck with Webfaction. You can do just about anything you want and the support is very good. They have standard setup scripts for various types of apps, including Django, but if you want to do something custom you have a lot of freedom. For

Re: Issue Deploying Django

I absolutely agree that's why if a place like webfaction can't completely convince me that they can take care of everything I could want then I think I need to go with root access with a cloud server or VPS. Sorry for the long wait on the reply. On Friday, August 3, 2012 11:13:46 AM UTC-4,

Re: Issue Deploying Django

With Cloud Servers, yes -- you do get Root access. It's basically the equivelant of a VPS that you can easily spawn, scale, and replicate as needed. Without root access on servers, virtual environments only get you so far. What happens when you need to install Python imaging library but they

Re: Issue Deploying Django

Yes when I saw no root privleges I realized very soon that I either have to get a new host that has what I need installed or get my own box and full control. With virtualenv I can install the packages on bluehost? On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 10:34 PM, Trevor Joynson wrote: >

Re: Issue Deploying Django

Yeah I've been looking into webfaction. Any information would be great thanks William! Only issues I would forsee is the root control. That is unless they have all that I need but at the same time I think I would lean to having root over not. Also I'm on a shared hosting right now and it's pretty

Re: Issue Deploying Django

You are trying to install packages system-wide when you don't have credentials to do so. You can install everything you need without cluttering the system itself. For instance, use a virtualenv and set your PREFIX. Either way, happy hacking! On Aug 1, 2012 8:32 PM, "JJ Zolper"

Re: Issue Deploying Django

I will say that I've had pretty good luck hosting with webfaction and installing packages locally. They also have really good support--I'd tell them your use case and ask them if it would work with them. Even though it's shared hosting, I do have ssh--though not root William On Thu, Aug

Re: Issue Deploying Django

Yes it seems that way. Thats because its shared hosting and i dont have root privleges. bluehost has hindered what I can do with Django. But does a cloud server at rackspace have root privleges like a vps? because i think i need to install these geospatial libraries to be able to really make

Re: Issue Deploying Django

Thanks so much for the reply! I had a feeling I would need it but I just like to be sure before I act. Another thing. On Ubuntu there were additional packages I had to install. I believe one was called "psycopg2-python-dev" or something like that. If I install psycopg2-python at:
