New one-click installers

Posted Jan 23 at 10:50 CDT by Remi in Joomla, Plone, Rails, WordPress, Zope  - 5 comment(s)

If you frequently create applications in the control panel you might notice that the drop-down where you select the application and the version keeps getting longer :)

This is because we're constantly adding more tools and more versions. Today we just added the freshly released TurboGears-1.0.4.2 and Joomla-1.5.

Other installers we added recently include the latest versions for Rails, WordPress, Zope, Plone and Trac.

Django-0.96, Zope-2.9.7, MySQLdb-1.2.2

Posted Mar 28 at 03:54 CDT by Remi in Django, MySql, Software, Zope  - 4 comment(s)

We've just added Django-0.96 and Zope-2.9.7 to our control panel. Since Django-0.96 required a newer version of MySQLdb we've upgrade MySQLdb to 1.2.2 on all servers.

If you have an existing Django app and wish to upgrade the recommended way is to manually replace the django module in $HOME/lib/python2.4 as described here.

A security hole has been found in earlier versions of Zope so it is highly recommended to upgrade to this latest Zope version. The procedure to upgrade is described here.

Django-0.95.1, Zope-2.10.1, Plone-2.5.2-1

Updated Feb 9 at 04:21 CDT (first posted Jan 22 at 08:05 CDT) by Remi in Django, Plone, Software, Zope  - 4 comment(s)

We've just added Django-0.95.1 and Zope-2.10.1 with Plone-2.5.2-1 to our control panel.

Note that if you have an existing Django app and wish to upgrade the recommended way is to manually replace the django module in $HOME/lib/python2.4 as described in the forum.

This is because right now you can't use the one-click installer to install two different Django versions (because they both reside in the same $HOME/lib/python2.4 directory). If you want to run two different Django versions you have to install one of them manually as a custom app

Update: Since Plone-2.5.2-1 is not compatible with Zope-2.10.1 we reverted back to Zope-2.9.6 for now.

BIG holiday present !

Updated Dec 29 at 09:34 CDT (first posted Dec 22 at 05:06 CDT) by Remi in Django, General, Plone, Python, Rails, Shared, TurboGears, Zope  - 13 comment(s)

Well, here comes our BIG holiday present to everyone:

We've added one long-running process and 40MB of RAM to all plans !

This means that Rails, Django and TurboGears hosting is now available on our "Shared 1" plan, starting at $7.50/month. Zope is now available on our "Shared 2" plan and Plone on our "Shared 3" plan.

But that's not it: we've doubled the diskspace and quadrupled the bandwidth included in each plan !

Also, a private IP address is now only $5/month and an extra 40MB of RAM is only $7/month.

Happy holidays everyone :)

Remi.
