I signed up for the Deluxe Linux account. I don't know anything about the Windows account. Presumably, the virtual and dedicated Linux accounts are also possible.
Godaddy has support for Python and MySQL (albeit an older version).
- Extract flup and copy the "flup" folder to a folder called "flup" in your root directory.
2) Extact Cheetah and copy the contents of "src" to a folder called "Cheetah" in your root directory.
3) I configured everything to work with CGI, according to the tutorial. I was unable to get FastCGI working, although godaddy claims to support FastCGI for RoR applications.
4) The version of MySQL is 4.0.*, so the "todo" table in the tutorial will need to be massaged. It looks like this:
CREATE TABLE `todo` (
`id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment primary key,
`title` text,
`created` timestamp NOT NULL,
`done` tinyint(1) default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
UNIQUE KEY `id` (`id`)
)
5) Log into your Account Manager to get the exact address for the MySQL database. It will be something like mysql##.secureserver.com. The exact value of ## will differ. I had to implicitly specify the host database address in the connection parameters (host=mysql##.secureserver.com); the local socket didn't work.
6) Don't forget to chmod +x your Python scripts. There is no SSH access, only FTP.
Otherwise, things are working fine for me, so far.
Getting Cheetah to work the way I wish it would is another matter...
