Hi Jared, "Am I wrong to think that I can run my Mezzanine project with a development server?" Don't do this. Use Gunicorn.
I deploy my stuff to Amazon, but I suspect that Digital Ocean would be the same. Actually, if you have SSH access it will be the same. What I follow is this blog post and it works like a charm http://michal.karzynski.pl/blog/2013/06/09/django-nginx-gunicorn-virtualenv-supervisor/ The only change I ever make in the setup is "bind=unix:$SOCKFILE" inside gunicorn_start file. I bind it to the actual address like this: ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:8001 bind=$ADDRESS As for the fab file, mine looks like this: def deploy_migrate_restart(): local("pip freeze > requirements.txt") local("hg pull ssh://[email protected]/YOUR_REPO; hg update") local("hg addremove; hg commit; hg push --verbose --debug --traceback ssh://[email protected]/YOUR_REPO") with prefix('source PATH_TO_VENV/bin/activate'): run("cd PROJECT_PATH; hg pull ssh://[email protected]/YOUR_REPO; hg update") run("sudo pip install -r PROJECT_PATH t/requirements.txt") run("python PROJECT_PATH/manage.py migrate") run("python PROJECT_PATH/manage.py collectstatic --noinput") run("sudo PROJECT_PATH/restart-gunicorn") Obviously you need to replace things like PROJECT_PATH with path to your project but this simple script works for me. "restart-gunicorn" contains one line: sudo supervisorctl restart YOUR_PROJECT Anyway, I'd recommend you to take these steps: - Setup DB etc so that when you run runserver inside shell it doesn't throw any errors. - Setup nginx to rout / to localhost:8001 and then run runserver and make sure you can access it from an external IP - Setup gunicorn so that it runs in the shell, doesn't throw errors and it's listening for requests. You should be able to access for external IP. - Setup supervisor to run Gunicorn processes for you. That's usually the process I go through and it works quite well. I hope that helps!
