I have installed django on dreamhost using fcgi. The posted instructions
needed updating due to the improved handlings of settings.py, but I
think I nailed the changes as the admin app comes up fine. My questions:
1) The url '' leads to a 404 error. Is that expected? It is unclear from
the docs what to expect for this case.
(Note that before I modified the rewrite rules, the url of '' was
causing a django crash in the line of code that attempted to add a slash
('/') to the url. This is not a good thing for a newbie to experience!
Perhaps that code should check for and handle len(url) == 0 explicitly?)
2) The admin page has a link to "example.com" which apparently is coming
from the site table. The admin app apparently supports no capability to
update that row. What are the ramifications of directly updating that
row in the site table?
What should I have done during installation to have the correct site
info placed in the db?
