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!

Unhandled Exception

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.
