Lighttpd on Cpanel VPS

March 28, 2007 By Bruce Kroeze 16 Comments

Working on a new project for a client, I need to run Django/Satchmo. At my advice, the client purchased a VPS from LiquidWeb to run it on.

The problem is that I want to run with Python 2.5 instead of 2.4, and I don’t want to use Apache 1.3. Unfortunately, that’s what comes stock with CPanel. So, I came up with a decent workaround that I haven’t seen documented anywhere else.

What I did was to set up Lighhtpd on one of the other IPs provided with the account, and I simply use my custom-compiled Python with that.

This site is worth how much?

questioning This site is worth how much?According to LeapFish, this domain is worth $12,150!

Well all right then! Finally some respect for the ol’ coder’s eye.

Ranking Factors

It seems that the ranking engine takes into account all sorts of variables. The shortness of the name, the fact that it is two dictionary words, and that it has a lot of Google hits.

Try yours and see how it compares. I’m curious to hear reports.

Free domains for me!

scrabble free Free domains for me!This is the end of my first week working at Dotster. I was asking a coworker today if we get discounted domain names, and I ended up getting better than that! I got $50 funded into my Dotster domain purchase account, plus a discount.

Well, it is part of my new job to make sure things are running smoothly, so I simply had to verify that the system works. Yup. All three of my new domains went through without a hitch. Thank you Dotster, I am now the owner of 27 domain names.

For your random interest, the domains are: graphicstribe.com, ebooktribe.com, and rollerpug.com. They should all have at least landing pages up this weekend.
