How to deploy Pinax without root Access to Apache?

Question

I tried Pinax, and it works great on my local machine, but how do I deploy it to my webhost server? I will not have root access to the server, and can not change APACHE server's config. I can only edit .htaccess file, will that be enough for Pinax deployment? ChengLong

Check out:

In short:

• Create a local_settings.py alongside settings.py for your host-specific settings (like database connection, e-mail, etc).
• Configure mod_wsgi.
• Set up cron job for mailer and asynchronous notifications.
