Our site is deployed on a Linode server and runs behind nginx using fastcgi.
Everything is located in /django/bases/.
This guide was useful in deploying the site.
Fastcgi spawns a number of processes so to keep track of which ones it spawns,
start it with ./manage.py runfcgi host=127.0.0.1 port=8080 pidfile=django.pid. The pidfile is to keep track of the process ids spawned by fastcgi. Check out the django docs to learn about serving static files.
Restart nginx with /etc/init.d/nginx restart and restart django with /etc/init.d/django restart. Restarting django reloads all django/FastCGI projects at once.
Check out this if you're having trouble with the path info env variable.
