[Django]-Deploying a django project on Hostmonster using FastCGI

I have created an example django project for you, which can be easily hosted on shared hosting providers. You can find it on github – https://github.com/psjinx/django-example-project-shared-hosting.

I have answered a related question asked by alok, you may look into that as well.

If you are still having some issues then please post them in comments.

Note the error message:

The current URL, , didn't match any of these.`

This means Django isn’t getting any URI information. The reason is this line:

 RewriteRule ^(/)?$ mysite/jarr.fcgi [QSA,L]

Note that the only thing that can cause the fcgi script to be called is visiting the “index”, and even then no URI information is given.
You’ll want your RewriteRule to be something like

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

(important part is the /$1)

Try moving the jarr.fgci to the public “root” of your domain (ie, not under mysite) and change your rule to be:

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

You’ll still be able to put files in the directory to be served directly by apache.
