Installing sahana on Go Daddy Hosting
Requirements:
- non-free account
- in Go Daddy nomenclature, this includes their economy, deluxe, unlimited or Grid hosting. Grid hosting would be considered best for large high-availability deployments.
- Go Daddy's Terms Of Service for free hosting mandate having an advertising header automatically added to every web page, however Sahana's css unintentionally disables this.
- Go Daddy's free hosting account is very limited in number of simultaneous connections, which while is fine for testing, would make the account unusable under any sort of load.
- Upgrading to a better account takes around 24 hours, so it is important to start off with adequate resources. Upgrading to a Grid account from lower accounts can take up to 72 hours.
- SSH access is highly desierable.
Process:
* Go to http://godaddy.com, and order a deluxe hosting account, ssh access, and ssl.
* when you get email saying site is ready, ssh in, type
wget “http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sahana/Sahana/0.6.2.2/sahana-0.6.2.2.tar.gz?use_mirror=hivelocity”
cd html;tar xzvf sahana-0.6.2.2.tar.gz
ln -s sahana/www/index.php index.php
