View Full Version : Can't get Django working under shared host

I'm having troubles with running django, when I run my fcgi file ./mysite.fcgi it dumps the proper headers and html to the shell giving the impression that it should work if I access it through a browser, but when I try to access it through a browser it just hangs.

here's the code for mysite.fcgi

#!/home/geekswho/python/bin/python2.5
import sys, os

# Add a custom Python path.
sys.path.insert(0, "/home/geekswho/python")

# Switch to the directory of your project. (Optional.)
os.chdir("/home/geekswho/public_html/gws2")

# Set the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable.
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = "settings"

from django.core.servers.fastcgi import runfastcgi
runfastcgi(method="threaded", daemonize="false")

and my .htaccess

AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ mysite.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]


Any idea on what the problem could be?
