How install python 2.5.2 (dreamhost.com)

Dreamhost default python 2.4 :(

All Python CGI scripts on dreamhost MUST...

  • end in ".py" (NOTE: ".cgi" works as well)
  • have #!/usr/bin/python in the very first line of the file (NOTE: #!/usr/bin/python2.x or #!/usr/bin/env python2.x will work as well)
  • be marked as executable: chmod 755
  • use UNIX style newlines, not Windows 
  • If you want to view printed output from your Python code, you must print print "Content-type: text/html\n\n" as the first line of output.
  • If you don't want .py files to be executed by Apache add "RemoveHandler .py" command to your .htaccess file

Installation a custom version of Python

wget http://python.org/ftp/python/VERSION/Python-2.5.2.tgz

tar -xzvf Python-VERSION.tgz

cd Python-VERSION

./configure --prefix=$HOME

Create a MySQL database

Need to setup a MySQL database to use with Django. Follow these steps:

  • In the Dreamhost administration panel, choose “manage MySQL” under the Goodies menu.

  • Enter a hostname for your database server. 
  • Enter a username and password for your database.
  • Click the “Add new database now!” button.

Create a directories

  • SSH into your Dreamhost server.

  • Make a new directory for Django: mkdir django
  • Change into your new directory: cd django
  • Create directories for templates and projects: mkdir django_templates and mkdir django_projects
  • Create a directory to store your media files (css, images, javascript, etc.).
