I'm trying to deploy my django project on a shared hosting as describe here
I have my project on /home/user/www/testa
I'm using this script
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys, os
sys.path.append("/home/user/bin/python")
sys.path.append('/home/user/www/testa')
os.chdir("/home/user/www/testa")
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = "settings.py"
from django.core.servers.fastcgi import runfastcgi
runfastcgi(method="threaded", daemonize="false")
And here's the error I get when trying to run it from shell:
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param REQUEST_METHOD required by WSGI!
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param SERVER_NAME required by WSGI!
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param SERVER_PORT required by WSGI!
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param SERVER_PROTOCOL required by WSGI!

An unhandled exception was thrown by the application.
What am I doing wrong?
Running the script from the browser just gives me an internal server error.
