How to install OSQA on Webfaction ?

Question

Hello,

First of all, unix is very new to me, I'm sorry if I may sound boring with my questions.

I have just bought a Webfaction package, especially to be able to run OSQA but I have errors installing libraries:

 easy_install-2.6 django
error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/ciudy/lib/python2.6/test-easy-install-4508.pth'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

/home/ciudy/lib/python2.6/

This directory does not currently exist.  Please create it and try again, or
choose a different installation directory (using the -d or --install-dir
option).

Am I missing something ?

Thank you

Thank you for your reply

I've managed to install the libraries, to configure everything, but when I try to populate the database ( as explained in OSQA's wiki) I get the following:

ciudy is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

The command was :

sudo python2.6 manage.py syncdb --all

I believe I don't have permissions to do that. Is there any other way ?

Thanks again [edit] Finally a friend install it for me. Thanks everyone

I've just been through this and found the wiki a little out of date. Check the directory:

/home/cuidy/lib/python2.6/django

If it has stuff in it (like the django install) then you can skip this step, if not...

Go to the panel
Select "Domain/Websites"
Ensure you have "Django" installed. If not create new application and select 'django'.
