Solved. Thanks to Hernani, check the "EDIT N3" below

I followed the bluehost recipe...

I went through almost everything flawlessly, until the "manage.py syncdb" line.

As you can see, I have all the modules working on Python2.6, but when I try to use manage.py... it does not work.

• I'm almost giving up with bluehost for not having support for Django...
• I tried to check the adding or deleting 'south'from the installed applications for the django settings.py.
• I updated every single module (easy_install works perfectly)

At this time... I don't know what to do... Would it be related to my wordpress installation that I'm using in the same /public_html ?

There is no South database module 'south.db.None' for your database.

Please either choose a supported database, check for SOUTH_DATABASE_ADAPTER[S] settings, or remove South from INSTALLED_APPS.

Where do I have to fix the "SOUTH_DATABASE_ADAPTER[S]" settings? ========================================

EDIT N3:

It's running, I had problems with the privileges for the MySQL user... and, also, with the wsgi module for Apache.

BTW: after fighting with the apache configurations (in a shared server, at Bluehost), I finally decided to change for a slice (VPN) in Slichehost... Getting it running on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Linx with Apache2, MySQL5, and Python2.6.

Thank you very much!!
