Droplet:
1- Ubuntu 16.04.4 x64
2- Changed root password and nothing else
Local Windows 10:
1- virtualenv --python=c:\Python27\python.exe blog_env
2- blog_env\Scripts\activate
3- pip install -U "fabric<2"
4- ~pip install mezzanine
5- mezzanine-project blog_iq
6- cd blog_iq
7- pip freeze > requirements.txt
8- python manage.py createdb
9- copied over fabfile.py from your link > gave me an error: Aborting: no
hosts defined (will get back to this later)
10- deleted fabfile and went back to the original one
11- Edited local_settings.py to this:
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ["blah.com"]
# These settings are used by the default fabfile.py provided.
# Check fabfile.py for defaults.
FABRIC = {
"DEPLOY_TOOL": "git", # Deploy with "git", "hg", or "rsync"
"SSH_USER": "santa", # VPS SSH username
"HOSTS": ["xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"], # The IP address of your VPS
"DOMAINS": ALLOWED_HOSTS, # Edit domains in ALLOWED_HOSTS
"REQUIREMENTS_PATH": "requirements.txt", # Project's pip requirements
"LOCALE": "en_US.UTF-8", # Should end with ".UTF-8"
"DB_PASS": "bingo", # Live database password
"ADMIN_PASS": "dingo", # Live admin user password
"SECRET_KEY": SECRET_KEY,
"NEVERCACHE_KEY": NEVERCACHE_KEY,
}
12- Created a git repository in the same directory as my project
DEPLOYMENT:
1- fab secure (error see #9 and #10 above)
2- reverted to original fabfile.py
3- fab secure - worked - created user
4- fab deploy
