TurboGears moves to TextDrive
TurboGears.org is now running at TextDrive!
By all accounts that I’ve ever seen, the people at TextDrive are among the most clued-in you’re going to find in the web hosting business. They know how to run servers, and they understand today’s “agile” development tools.
When I described my hosting problems, Michael Koziarski, who works for TextDrive, was among those who offered assistance. The assistance offered: free hosting for TurboGears at TextDrive. How’s that for supporting open source development?
I should also note that Koz wrote the Feed Your Reader plugin for Firefox, which I make use of in Zesty News. So, I’m doubly indebted to him!
As soon as I’ve figured out some permissions issues, TurboGears will have its subversion repository up at TextDrive.
Thanks, TextDrive!
Update: I forgot to thank Jason Hoffman from TextDrive for setting me up and getting me rolling. Thanks, Jason!
I think you missed an egg with the move. ez_setup.py fails looking for TurboGears-0.5.1-py2.4.egg
Hmm… The files are there, but Apache is serving 0 bytes for them. .tar.gz files work fine…
Oddly, I needed to set a MIME type for .egg files. This is working now.
I’ve noticed that while http://www.turbogears.com points to turbogears website, http://turbogears.com points to textdrive website.
Woops. I got http://www.turbogears.com, but not turbogears.com. Fixed…
I got the error below when clicking turbogears.org and textdrive.com:
Precondition Failed
The precondition on the request for the URL / evaluated to false.
You mean the links in the first sentence of the article? They both seem to work fine for me.
Now the links on the first sentence work fine for me too. Thanks!
The link at the bottom of this page saying “Entries (RSS)” has a “feed” attached to its front and is not working.
If yuor computer is configured with an RSS reader, you can generally open feed links in your RSS reader.
Can you document what exactly you had to do to get TurboGears working on textdrive… I’m a textdrive user and so far although finding the people there helpful, there’s not a lot in the way of support to browse….
I imagine I’ll have to raise a load of tickets… something I always feel kinda guilty about…
Hi Tom,
We’re actually trying to go better than that. I’ve got it running on a somewhat non-standard machine at TextDrive. There are others who have it running on more normal machines. I’m hoping that sometime soon you’ll just be able to type tg-admin quickstart and get going!
In the meantime, you might want to check in the TurboGears forum at TextDrive.
