database - Use Django (or Ruby on Rails) on server without root access? -


is possible develop multi-client web-based crud applications (with django, ruby on rails, etc.) on server on don't have root access?

our machines @ school, on have regular account, run web server, , can publish regular html pages , cgi scripts. how easy/difficult/impossible install django database support there in home directory , simple example running? example started, i'm imagining user may create account, log in , leave message.

we don't have mysql etc., i'd have install in home directory, if possible.

any tips or appreciated.

it possible install , run django without root access, although it's far simple.

i doubt you'd able run mysql. however, sqlite work fine, requires access file, can live in home directory. assuming you're running python 2.5+, sqlite libraries included.

since can run cgi scripts, should able run django via fastcgi. see the fastcgi deployment documentation details.

in terms of django itself, needs in pythonpath, , can set in fcgi scripts connect apache.
