    <p>I've setup a Django site on Dreamhost on a dreamhosters subdomain before so I can tell you for sure it is possible.</p> <p>I'm not sure what you mean by active domain but I know that you have to set something to the effect of "Allow Passenger for this domain" under "Manage Domains" > "Web Options". Your <code>passenger_wsgi.py</code> file should be placed in <code>~/[name].dreamhosters.com/</code> and needs to include all the necessary project/application paths (including the Django source) as well as set the <code>DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE</code> environment variable as described in the <a href="http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Django" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Dreamhost wiki</a>. As far as database connections there is nothing special that you have to do in the settings when using Passenger.</p> <p>On a somewhat related note, I would have to question your statement </p> <blockquote> <p>...have had a high traffic site fall in my lap that dreamhost are probably better suited to handling.</p> </blockquote> <p>given that Webfaction is by far the top rated host for Django and Dreamhost the absolute worst according to <a href="http://djangofriendly.com/hosts/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DjangoFriendly</a>. It's possible that many of the reviews were written when Dreamhost was only supporting FastCGI and things might have improved when using Passenger but I still don't think it beats Webfaction's options of FastCGI, mod_python, and mod_wsgi (which is the recommended deployment setup according to the Django docs <a href="http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/howto/deployment/modwsgi/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/howto/deployment/modwsgi/</a>).</p>
