Re: How to enable logging/tracing

Hi,

the problem is: I have a linux web server with no root access (only a normal
user via ssh and ftp). mod_wsgi is activated and seems  to be working. I set
up a virtualenv for python and installed the dependencies for zine in this
virtualenv. But mod_wsgi uses the system wide python installation.
I also tried to append the lib directory of the virtualenv to the pythonpath
(sys.path.apped in zine.wsgi) but this did not work. It seems that the
system wide python does not use the egg files installed via easy_install.
I only can configure Apache via .htaccess but there I can not set the needed
mod_wsgi directives (e. g. WSGIPythonHome). Is there any possibilty to
install zine in such an environment?

Sure.  I think you want to use a virtual environment there.  Download
the source tarball and run the make virtualenv script from the scripts
folder.

No it works. I had to unzip the .egg files by hand to make it work with
the global Python interpreter. Thanks for your help :-)
