DreamHost hosting plan. Basic operation The following are the basic actions dreamhost server error log that take place once a file is requested from a domain running Passenger and Ruby on Rails:
Dreamhost Login
When a request is made to a domain/subdomain, the Apache HTTP Server passes the request to Passenger. Passenger first looks for an appropriately-named HTML or CGI file django dreamhost in the domain/subdomain's /public subdirectory. If no matching file is found, the request is passed to Passenger's Rack interface. Note that this use of the /public subdirectory meshes precisely with the way that Ruby on Rails makes use of the same subdirectory. In order to generate a response, Rack looks for a file named "config.ru" in django passenger the domain/subdomain's root directory (i.e., the parent of the domain's /public subdirectory). Rack requires that you place the appropriate Ruby code into "config.ru" to invoke your desired web framework or application to handle the request. Under normal circumstances, Ruby on Rails (RoR) will automatically create and initialize all of the files and directories needed to interface with Passenger/Rack. When running a RoR application, the only Rack-related files you are likely to modify are possibly adding GEM_PATH information to "config.ru" and "touching" the "tmp/restart.txt" file. Use of Passenger vs. FastCGI Passenger should only be enabled if you intend to run a Ruby on Rails (RoR) or other Ruby/Python-based program as the sole application for the entire domain or subdomain. Passenger directs all requests for the designated domain/subdomain to the associated Rack-compliant application. So it's best to leave Passenger disabled if you do not actually need it. In other words, you should only enable Passenger if you want to access your application via the following three URLs: myap

Python web applications which use the WSGI interface, including any application which uses the Django framework. Since Passenger allows your application to temporarily reside in memory while https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215769578-Passenger-overview it is being actively used, it will allow your site to respond significantly faster than is otherwise possible. Passenger's WSGI support works reasonably well, however another available option is Python FastCGI in case you run into problems. Setting up Passenger WSGI To start an example Python site using Passenger WSGI, your first step should https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215769548-Passenger-and-Python-WSGI be to configure the domain to use Passenger as shown in the Passenger article. Note that the document root must end in "/public" for a Passenger application as this directory will be used to serve static media. Once you have set the domain to use Passenger, create a file called passenger_wsgi.py in the folder above the document root (i.e., if you set your document root to /home/username/example.com/public, you'd put this file at /home/username/example.com/passenger_wsgi.py). This file must export a WSGI server with the name application. Here's a minimal example: def application(environ, start_response): start_response('200 OK', [('Content-type', 'text/plain')]) return ["Hello, world!"] This application will return a text file with the content "Hello, world!" for any request. Passenger WSGI and Django See Django for instructions on how to configure Passenger to run Django. Passenger WSGI and virtualenv As Passenger loads your passenger_wsgi.py into a special wrapper (currently /dh/passenger/lib/phusion_passenger/wsgi/request_handler.py, although this may change), you cannot directly select which Python interpreter is used to run your applicatio

Django is not an application https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215319598-Django-overview on its own. You will need proficiency in Python programming in order to write http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4251647/django-on-dreamhost-with-passenger-no-response-to-browsers-no-error an application using Django. As of April 2015, DreamHost currently runs Django v1.3.1. Setting up your User, Domain, and Database Below are instructions for setting up Django using Passenger. View the Enabling Shell Access article to set your user as a Shell user. Navigate to (Panel > ‘Domains’ > ‘Manage Domains’). Click the error log Edit button to the right of the domain under the ‘Web Hosting’ column. Scroll down to the ‘Web Options’ section and make sure the checkbox titled ‘Passenger (Ruby/NodeJS/Python apps only) is checked. Enabling passenger forces your web directory to add the /public folder. Once you save your changes in the next step, this /public folder will be your site's web directory. Move any files into it you wish dreamhost passenger error to display online. Scroll down and click the blue Change settings button to save your new settings. Navigate to (Panel > ‘Goodies’ > ‘MySQL Databases’). Create a new blank database which will only be used for your Django app. Visit the phpMyAdmin article for details on your hostname, username, and password.

Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up Django on Dreamhost with Passenger: no response to browsers, no error up vote 4 down vote favorite I'm trying to get some trivial Django to run on my dreamhost account. I did do my homework before choosing Dreamhost, but only recently decided to try Django. Anyhow, I have a trivial app that I want to run under something.mydomain.com. Passenger is enabled. When I visit a static page, it loads fine, out of ~/something.mydomain.com/public/. When I visit any other page (such as something.mydomain.com/admin), the url should be handled by my Django app. This is where I get stuck; the page doesn't load and it doesn't throw an error. It keeps trying to load forever (no timeout yet). I don't know much about the logs; I haven't found anything myself. My guess is the passenger_wsgi.py in ~/something.mydomain.com/ is faulty. I have tried different versions. This passenger gives the… freeze? described above import sys, os, django sys.path.append("/home/me/something.mydomain.com/") os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'something.settings' import django.core.handlers.wsgi application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler() This passenger happily "Hello, world!"s me import sys, os, django sys.path.append("/home/me/something.mydomain.com/") os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'something.settings' def application(environ, start_response): write = start_response('200 OK', [('Content-type', 'text/plain')]) return ["Hello, world!"] So I'm inclined to believe something about WSGIHandler() isn't properly accomodated. I tried this in a python shell: >>> import django and it gave no errors. What now? python django passenger wsgi dreamhost share|improve this question asked Nov 23 '10 at 0:31 Joel 986 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote I gave up on using Django on Dreamhost because their server forcibly kills any wsgi process on a timed basis. After that a new request has to start a new instance, which in my case meant that queries sometimes took 10-15s. It was more than
