Sorry to revive this thing a year later. I have taken a stab at this yesterday and at 5 in the morning I was still nowhere trying to install w2p under a shared hosting account. Has anyone gotten this to work on hostgator? I would really appreciate some help. I have pretty much vacuumed the web for installation instructions and tried them all, though they are all very similar to what is described in this thread. I can't seem to get anything but 404 response. Maybe I try to navigate the wrong URL.
In a nut shell I have done the following: - installed web2py inside ~/public_html - created executable web2py.fcgi - added the stuff to .htaccess At the end I was messing with routes.py a bit, but to no avail (I'm fuzzy on how to interpret this stuff though). If you have a working config on HG that would give me one of the w2p's wecome app to show or any sort of HelloWorld kind of an app to work, I would appreciate you sharing it here. On a related note, what would be the URL I would need to navigate to see w2p welcome app after a successful w2p install, given the domain www.blah.com and w2p installed ~/public_html? Would it be www.blah.com/web2py/welcome? My plan at this point is to try django following the instructions from HG support pages. Just want to make sure any python framework at all would work. I have not done this yet and in the long run am not looking at using django. Thank you in a advance, -piton On Friday, May 13, 2011 9:21:13 PM UTC-7, pepe_eloy wrote: > > Hello! > > Recently a customer bought a hosting plan (business) with hostgator. > I'm developing for him a web2py application, I have doubts of how to > deploy it.
