Hostmonster + python 2.5 + subversion 1.4 + django-svn + mysqldb + fcgid
I’ve chosen Hostmonster as a shared hosting provider for one my projects using Django. I’ve been using hostmonster for this blog so I wanted to give it a try for more professional matters. The problem is that hostmonster is not django/python friendly. I’ve found the following problems:
- No subversion (svn) client.
- Old python without mysql support.
- Of course, no Django support.
As you can see:
$ python -V
Python 2.3.4
$ svn
-bash: svn: command not found
But not supported doesn’t mean impossible. You can have your python 2.5 and Django from subversion (And everything you want to install). You only need to install the software we need from scratch. If you want to know how, just read the rest of this entry.
