Setting up Django app on a shared hosting server

Question

Okay so i have shared hosting so it means i have access to just about nothing so i'm having problems setting up my django application.

Looking at google searches there is a way to do it using a .htaccess and .wgsi file but I'm having no luck. My knowledge with anything like this is low as i normally use php.

So far i have added some code into the htaccess file and it always comes up with this error..

Not Found The requested URL /dispatch.wsgi/ was not found on this server.

Hard to tell without knowing what toolset is available to you. I've used Webfaction on a shared server, and just click add application in the control panel, and choose a Django version, and bingo - it's all done — Jon Clements

I recommend you stump up for 'real' hosting if you want to write 'real' web apps. — Joe

Did you tried this tuto? I tried and it works (with little touch ups). If you tried it and it didn't work, can you detail the error you got? — Psddp

You should take a look at this :

In this section of django documentation they explain the how to :)

Running Django on a Shared-Hosting Provider with Apache Many shared-hosting providers don’t allow you to run your own server daemons or edit the httpd.conf file. In these cases, it’s still possible to run Django using Web server-spawned processes.

have a nice day :)

Do you have the dispatch.wsgi on the specific path? it should be somewhere like the public folder that serves your static files, like /public_html or /www.

I have used shared hosting for django from a small orange. I got mine working by following this tutorial of theirs, maybe working for you too.
