I was trying to deploy django on a shared webhost which is not django specific. Host offers old version of python installed, but since I have ssh access ability, I've managed to extend python installation with modules I need (including django) by installing them locally in my home folder. Ok, so I've created django project, did tweaks that needed to do (setting up PYTHONPATH and PATH globals etc.), made django.fcgi script which starts django and did ./django.fcgi from shell. This is the response:
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param REQUEST_METHOD required by WSGI!
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param SERVER_NAME required by WSGI!
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param SERVER_PORT required by WSGI!
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param SERVER_PROTOCOL required by WSGI!

So, I'm aware that this issue is about limited memory for my user (wrong?), but is it so low that I cannot run bare django? Just for things to be worse, a month ago the same provider gave me a test account, and a was able not just to run django, but to install locally newer version of python and run it nice. I did asked my web host support for help, but I didn't got any usable answer. Also since they are resellers I'm not very sure how much they help.
Is there a way to overcome this problem? Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks in advance

#!/home/<username>/bin/python
import os, sys
sys.path.insert(0, "/home/<username>/djangoprojects")
sys.path.insert(0, "/home/<username>/djangoprojects/testproject")
os.environ['PATH']= "/home/<username>/bin:"+os.environ['PATH']
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'testproject.settings'
from django.core.servers.fastcgi import runfastcgi
runfastcgi(method="threaded", daemonize="false")
This is how look like my configuration. I must admit that there was a little error (interpreter path), but 'settings' file path was good.
After correcting the interpreter path to right one, First I've got StringError (some triple quoted doc string in one of djangos files was not closed - hm, hardly), than in next run MemoryError, and again MemoryError and so on. After a while (an hour) I tried to execute script again (no further changes made) and constantly ending up with Segmentation fault (core dumped).
Any suggestions?
