With the rediculously low cost of web hosting these days, its surprising that anyone would even consider a free solution if they seriously weigh the drawbacks of being at the mercy of someone with your data.
True, but free hosting is really a great way for new web designers and young people to learn about hosting and cpanel and whatnot. Also, a lot of people don't make profits from their site and maybe don't have any other source of income (young people, again) to even pay 1-10 dollars a month.
I have found heliohost to be a great free host so far, my downtimes have been low and there are no ads. If I wanted I could buy a domain and point heliohost to it, making my pages look exactly like a paid host.
I think free hosting is what should become the default for non profiting sites.I mean look it from this point of view that we are here to help a free host to compete with paid hosts.And also if these free hosts had not existed,those paid hosting prices would have never become rediculous.

so you have to upload django first?
perhaps this is too much
in sys.path must be the way to django, I did not know, and uploaded their
Actually simbairk is not using the django that's installed on the server in python "lib/site-packages" folder which is normally used as where 3rd party packages are installed.He is using the django ,he himself has uploaded to his account by changing the python path to point to his uploaded django folder.
It seems this kind of using django can be accompllished on any hosting that's just offering python too.Look at this link:Setting up Django at Webreus.nl
It seems there are two ways of using databases without shell access:
1.using python scripts(which can be used for running other cammands of shell too);An example of such script is script.py file ,simbairk has used.
2.some kind of replicating your home database in your hosting account using for example phpmyadmin ,etc.
I'll explain these more in the near future.
By the way ,simbairk ,whould you please send us your urls.py file too?

Are you sure? But I saw one of your pages with debug= True when I browsed to your site.already done:) -
Oh I'm very happy you did it simbairk.Actually I know very little django.Now I'm going to play with it more and I'll come back to ask you my questions.I need so much help
Thank you very much for your contribution
By the way set debug and template_debug in settings.py file to False when making your site available on the internet.It's a security advice

If any of you is successful to run your site please let me know.Look at this topic:is There Anyone Who is Running a Django Powered Website?
Look at the following topic too please.You may be able to help me:How to Deploy a Django Powered Blog(in a specific example)?
Thank You

No there is no new errors in my error_log after refreshing.In fact I had also refreshed it several times before.
I doubted it means refreshing because it's a simple task to do, simpler for you to do it yourself instead of asking me to do
And I should mention that English is not my native language, so It's sometimes hard for me to convey my meaning or get what you mean.Excuse me!
Update: I have some good news.I've found someone at heliohost who is running his website using django with database.He manipulates syncdb through a function call in a python script.Here is his post:simbairk post
Now I'm persuaded it's possible to have this blog project running on my account.So I'm going to go through it and make it work for me.I'll come back by 4 or 5 days and tell you if I will still have been encountering problems in running it.
Thank you for your help thus far

Why exactly do you need Django? There are tons of CMS out there and it sounds like you're having trouble with this specific one.
- I chose heliohost because of this feature.
- Django is not a CMS but is a Framework so you shouldn't compare it to CMSes, you can just compare it to other frameworks like ROR
- I don't know any kind of programming language other than C and C++ that I have forgotten very much since I haven't never used them in action.I just learnt them theoretically.
- I'm going to learn python soon and you know django is based on python
- I think it's the best framework at least for my needs
Thank you for asking

What do you mean by loading the page again?
Hey I'm a complete newbie , so please give me help in layman's terms.
And may be it's my fault that want to have a django based website soon while I know very little about it.I'm going to learn python and django completely and even learn linux sever but I thought I may find someone kind enough here to help me to have such website before actually knowing how it's working.
I know you are a free service and this means that you don't have to give any kind of support at all but when you claim you support django for building a website you should provide a sample example of a django project that is hosted by you successfully.
And what I'm afraid from is not being able to run such a website even after gaining the required knowledge.I mean I'm afraid this kind of website be an impossible one to be hosted by heliohost.
Do you give me an assurance that having a django powered website is practical on your host?
And is there anything else about django that paid hostings are offering that you don't offer? And is this extra options they offer necessary to build any or every kind of website with django? I mean do you believe any django website that can be hosted by them, can be hosted by heliohost too?
I really like your hosting because I like the idea behind this service.It's like the idea behind the open source movement.I really appreciate you and I'm really hoping to have my django powered site on heliohost.org soon
Thank you very much for your dedication to this freedom
And I know this is off topic,but I'm curious to know how you are earning a living?!!!

Hello
I wanted to know if there is anyone who is running a Django powered website at heliohost?
I mean using Django framework with a database to build a website.
I'm going to make such a website but before that I need to be assured it's possible at heliohost
If you believe it's possible please let me know
I doubt it and I need to be persuaded
Thank you all

You should be able to create the database on your local computer and upload it to HelioHost. It should just be a single file.
So you mean I'm fine if If I upload the db file on my cmputer to my project folder at heliohost and use the following settings in my settings.py file.
DATABASE_ENGINE = 'sqlite3' DATABASE_NAME = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'db') DATABASE_USER = '' # Not used with sqlite3. DATABASE_PASSWORD = '' # Not used with sqlite3. DATABASE_HOST = '' # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3. DATABASE_PORT = '' # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
Ok if this is the case I shouldn't have any database problems.
So why am I getting error browsing to my page?Is your Apache server really serving my django project? What is that 500 internal server error?
-
I'm not going to run manage.py at heliohost.I'm looking forward to an alternative.For example making a db file in my home computer and copy its content to a db file i have created in heliohost.something like this.Don't you have any suggestion?
I'm so ignorant about databases.Can't I have a database file the same as the one I have in my home computer?
These are the only settings django needs to communicate with a database:
DATABASE_ENGINE = 'sqlite3' DATABASE_NAME = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'db') DATABASE_USER = '' # Not used with sqlite3. DATABASE_PASSWORD = '' # Not used with sqlite3. DATABASE_HOST = '' # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3. DATABASE_PORT = '' # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
I mean I think it's enough for example for me to first synchronize my home db file.Then make the same kind of db file in heliohost which contains the same tables in my home db file(so the db file in heliohost is some kind of a copy of my db file at home).And at last give above settings their right values.
What do you think?
I think this is a very basic project.I mean it's something very normal.And you are saying that you support django framework.I want to know how this normal project can be deployed.Isn't there anyone in this hosting who uses databases with django? and I think any useful django project must have a database.So if there is anyone who is running a django powered website on your host , he must know my answer.And if there is no such person then I think you shouldn't claim supporting Django framework on your hosting.

I'm looking into this right now. I'll let you know if we can upgrade.
UPDATE
Unfortunately, the folks over at CentOS say we should stay at 2.4.3 because of compatibility issues. Sorry. As for Django... we're running 1.0.0, and the newest version is 1.0.2. Is there really anything you need from the newer version?
Are the folks over at CentOS saying we should stay at 2.4 yet?I think you should at least upgrade to 2.5.Please look into it again

these are my error log
I know you don't allow command prompt access.I'm asking so how should this synchronization be accomplished without using command prompt?
I'm completely unsure of how I can setup the required database.Please explain what steps i should take to do it.

This is what i get browsing to purerapture.co.cc
Internal Server ErrorThe server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@purerapture.co.cc and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
1.I use "manage.py syncdb" in command prompt at my home computer to synchronize database.How should i do it at heliohost without shell access?
do you have sqlite3 database? i don't see it in my control panel
2.Yes I have tried the guide and I got the above error
You are the best host for your great support

Running the following code you will have a Django Powered Blog.No changing of the code is needed ignoring the output style(CSS and specifying its file location);
You just need to have python and django installed.Having synchronized the built in sqlite3 database in Python 2.6 with models of this Django project I tested it at my home computer using Django Runserver.
a Django Blog Project Source Code
So what is the question?
The question is how it can be deployed in Heliohost using Apache Server?
Considering what i mentioned above and removing the following statement from the urls.py file which manipulates Runserver
(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': 'c:/static/adornment'}),
this deployment should be composed of only 2 steps ignoring the output style:
- Setting up and configuring a database in Heliohost Account to hold synchronized tables with Django models classes
- Manipulating Apache to serve Django
So my question is how I should accomplish these two steps? please don't give me general responses.I have read the python feature webpage in heliohost.org.I want answers to this specific case.
And to djbob: I have uploaded this project code to my (www) folder.I'll be glad if you try to run it in my account
Thank you very much
