As a small background, I am developing a django application for the 1st and 1st web hosting. When I tried to transfer the application to the Internet, I went through the following tutorial: http://robhogg.me.uk/post/2 . There is Python 2.6 on the servers, and I installed django and flup through SSH. Here is my .fsgi file ...
#!/usr/bin/python import sys, os basepath = '/home/path/'
... and here is my .htaccess file ...
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !(cgi-bin/mysite.fcgi) RewriteRule ^(.*)$ cgi-bin/mysite.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]
I have also granted permissions to the .fcgi script 755. When I run the .fcgi script, the HTML page of the home page prints to the console (which, according to many sites, means the script is good). But when I go to my site, I only get the Index.html page, which is in my home directory. So I moved all the html files from the home directory and tried again. But this time I get an error message:
Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I tried one more thing, and that was in the .htaccess file, changing
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
to
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
After searching everywhere, I could not find a solution, so I followed the directions on this site: https://help.asmallorange.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/140 Although it was a different host, it was the same concept with similar steps. I completed all the steps, creating a new project and that’s all, and, in the end, I had the same problem.
I went through a ton of posts like this one, but no one had a solution that still worked. This may be 1 and 1 specific problem, but I would really appreciate help if anyone has any suggestions.
