Deploying a Django project on Namecheap shared hosting requires some additional steps due to the limitations of shared hosting environments. Here’s how to do it:

• Log In to cPanel: Access your Namecheap account and log in to your cPanel.
• Select Setup Python App: In the Software section, select Setup Python App.
• Create a New Application:
  • Choose your Python version (e.g., Python 3.x).
  • Set the application root directory (e.g., /home/username/toraaglobal).
  • Set the application URL (e.g., www.toraaglobal.com).
  • Set the application startup file (usually passenger_wsgi.py).

• Create passenger_wsgi.py: In the root directory of your Django project, create a passenger_wsgi.py file with the following content:

import sys
import os

# Add your project directory to the sys.path
sys.path.insert(0, '/home/username/toraaglobal')

# Set the settings module
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'toraaglobal.settings'

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

• Install Dependencies:

• In cPanel’s Python App settings, navigate to your app and open the terminal.

• Install your dependencies using pip:

  pip install -r /home/username/toraaglobal/requirements.txt
  
  

• Configure Database:

  • Namecheap shared hosting typically uses MySQL, so update your DATABASES setting in settings.py to use MySQL:

  DATABASES = {
      'default': {
          'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
          'NAME': 'database_name',
          'USER': 'database_user',
          'PASSWORD': 'database_password',
          'HOST': 'localhost',
          'PORT': '3306',
      }
  }
  

• Migrate the Database: Run the migrations to set up the database:

python manage.py migrate

• Configure Static Files

  • Collect Static Files:Run the command to collect static files:

    python manage.py collectstatic
    
    

  • Serve Static Files: You may need to configure your .htaccess file to serve static files correctly. Add the following in your .htaccess file located in the public_html directory:

    Alias /static/ /home/username/toraaglobal/static/
    
    <Directory /home/username/toraaglobal/static>
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    

• Final Steps

  • Update ALLOWED_HOSTS: In your settings.py, ensure that ALLOWED_HOSTS includes your domain name:

    ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['www.toraaglobal.com']
    
    

  • Restart Your Application: In cPanel, go to the Python App settings and restart your application to apply all changes. Once completed, your Django project should be live and running on Namecheap shared hosting.
