Re: Development server won't work from a shared web host

To answer my own question, I found the following:

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, I saw that message.  I am a bit lost where to go next if I completely ignore that tutorial regarding doing admin from the development server (which I don't have).  Do I dive into tutorial   #3 and hope that it will pick up the admin stuff later when it gets to talk about wsgi?  Or is there a "here's what you do if you don't have a development server" tutorial somewhere?

In the 'Running the Development Server' section of this page in the tutorial it states that:

"Although this server is convenient for development, resist the temptation to use it in anything resembling a production environment. The development server can handle only a single request at a time reliably, and it has not gone through a security audit of any sort."

The 'runserver' command should only be used for local development. You need to configure your server to work with Django via wsgi (or a similar method).

I have Django working from a shared host account (westhost).  I was able to follow all of the steps in tutorials 1 & 2 except the part on starting the development server.  Apparently westhost won't let you run that.  Without the development server, how do  I access the Django admin functions?

Thanks,
