Ok, this has been a bit of a pain, but working through it and making a little headway. I've been able to get as far as installing all the python libraries. When I try to install OSQA from the SVN, I get -bash: svn: command not found

There's no guide for a hostgator install, so I'm hoping someone has been through this. I'm on Python 2.4 and have the following libraries installed (via easy-install.)

django flup html5lib markdown python-openid south django-debug-toolbar mysql-python

I'm about to jump to Shapado for their "8 second setup", but thought I'd ask for some guidance here before doing so.

Hi SolidSmack. The first error is because you don't have subversion installed. If you can install regular libraries (via yum or apt-get) then you'll want to do that. Otherwise request that Hostgator do that for you. Second, Python 2.4 isn't really supported. You'll need to install 2.5 or 2.6 in a virtual environment (some of the recipes on the wiki describe this for other hosts). As for Shapado, their 8 second setup is a hosted setup on their system. Up to you whether you want that.

Hey Matt, thanks. I'll start with trying the 2.6 update. I'm a little new at using SSH so it, along with being new to python, is kind a blowing my mind. I'm determined to get through this though and write up a how to once done... I may be back before then for questions though :)

Which recipe do you think is closest to a hostgator install?
