I’m testing out django CMS for a small personal site, bobtiki.me, and installing it on my WebFaction hosted server. I’m writing down the steps, so you don’t have to! (And by “you,” I mean “future Mark who has forgotten these steps.”)
I’ve had a great experience with WebFaction — they’re both inexpensive and reliable. If you’d like to give them a try, please use this affiliate link to sign up for a free trial, and try installing for yourself.
