I'm trying to get the Poll tutorial working at my Dreamhost account (I don't have any prior experience of deploying Django). I downloaded the script I found here (http://gabrielfalcao.com/2008/12/02/hosting-and-deploying-django-apps-on-dreamhost/) at my home directory and executed it. Now I have Python 2.5 and Django in ~/.myroot/ and my Django projects directory is ~/projects/

Here's the content of ~/projects/ directory (I copied the polls/ and and templates/polls/ directories myself).

projects/
|-- admin_media -> /home/imran2140/.myroot/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/media
|-- dispatch.fcgi
|-- polls
|   |-- __init__.py
|   |-- __init__.pyc
|   |-- admin.py
|   |-- admin.pyc
|   |-- models.py
|   |-- models.pyc
|   |-- polls.db
|   |-- urls.py
|   |-- urls.pyc
|   |-- views.py
|   `-- views.pyc
|-- script_templates
|   |-- dispatch.template
|   `-- htaccess.template
`-- templates
    `-- polls
        |-- detail.html
        |-- index.html
        `-- results.html

5 directories, 17 files

Now what should I do to get the Polls app working?

Update

I finally got a "Hello World" Django app working with Passanger WSGI. It worked fine with both Server's default Python 2.3.5 and my installed Python 2.5.2.
