Thx Demian my issue is now resolved (and I feel like a dumbass but who

Change:

-rw-rw-rw- 1 www-data www-data 47104 Jul 18 17:41 sqlite3 -

Now instead of

DatabaseError: attempt to write a readonly database

I get

DatabaseError: unable to open database file

Maybe I'll try a different db what do you think?


A common issue when deploying is if your fcgi or wsgi script doesn't have
the correct permissions set, which would cause an error that can't be caught
by Django.

mds@waitaki:/usr/local/django/dogscience$ ls -l apache/django.wsgi
-rw-r--r-- 1 mds staff 1630 Jul 18 17:38 apache/django.wsgi


How about this:

Is anyone out there deploying on debian squeeze with the following packages:
apache2
libapache2-mod-wsgi
python-django

If so, does the admin work for you?

If it does, what db are you using?

Can't use admin with apache

2012-07-16 Thread Matt Smith
Background: I work on my projects using apache2 on my desktop machine, 
then just rsync across to the actual server (also apache2), that way I 
thought I could avoid the hassle of having things work with the dev 
server, but not with apache. Not so. Today I've discovered that the 
admin works under the dev server, but not with my apache setup. I 
replicated this using a brand new helloWorld project. I've searched the 
archives, the docs, the book, also ordinary web search. Found some 
people had similar problems and fixed it with apache Alias directives 
pointing ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX to DJANGO_SRC/contrib/admin/media but this 
didn't work for me. I get a 500 internal server error, regardless of DEBUG.


Appreciate any help with this.

Hi Matt,
If you do not have static serving enabled in your django application 
mapping to /static/ in urls.py, then the content is being served by 
Apache.


In settings.py I commented out the lines which assign MEDIA_ROOT, 
MEDIA_URL, and ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX because I couldn't see what they were 
good for, and I have no entry for /static/ in urls.py so I guess the 
content is being served by Apache, correct?


What is your MaxRequestsPerChild in your apache conf?


0 for all of prefork, worker and event mpm's

I apologise if this is OT for this list but I'm curious if you think the 
machine running apache is underpowered:


mds@waianakarua:~$ grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo
cpu MHz: 400.829
mds@waianakarua:~$ grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
MemTotal: 185644 kB

Thx again,

Re: Deployment: Apache2, wsgi (Debian squeeze)

2012-07-09 Thread Matt Smith

Thx Kenneth, Rohan, Melvyn.

I've arrived at something that works:

httpd.conf:
WSGIScriptAlias /  
/usr/local/django/projectName/apache/django.wsgi
Alias  /static 
/usr/local/django/projectName/static


So everything that's not a template lives under 
/usr/local/django/projectName/static. Is this ok? Does this mean when I 
link to say /static/foo.jpg in a template that foo.jpg is being served 
up by apache directly, ie not handled by wsgi?


I've noticed that the site is slower to load up than before django? Is 
this normal?

Deployment: Apache2, wsgi (Debian squeeze)

2012-07-03 Thread Matt Smith

Hi,

I made a multi choice quiz using django and was able to deploy it at:

http://mattsmith.org.nz/django/test

Thanks to the community for making these tools available.

I am a self-taught programmer, this is the first time I have tried any 
web development so please be patient. I always find these groups 
intimidating but I really feel I have made a decent RTFM effort before 
making this post.


Here are some things I know nothing about:

Apache configuration.
How http actually works.

Up until now I've been serving non-dynamic content the usual way. I 
apt-got installed apache2, worked out /var/www was the root, followed 
the index.html convention and that worked fine. Now I feel I'm stuck 
between that old way of doing things and the django/wsgi way which I 
can't get my head around even after reading the docs. The development 
server experience hasn't helped me much when it comes to deployment.


I wanted to connect the quiz to http://mattsmith.org.nz/test instead of 
http://mattsmith.org.nz/django/test but I couldn't see how to do that.


I also want to convert the whole site to django so I can use child 
templates, but I cant work this out either.


I guess my main question is this:

Under the old scheme if someone types just my domain into their browser 
they get $DOCUMENT_ROOT/index.html, simple. What is the equivalent for 
the django/wsgi setup.? What do you put in urls.py?


After reading the docs (they all say different things) I ended up with 
the following setup:


/var/www/{oldStuff}
/var/django/dogscience/apache/django.wsgi

To help you help me you can see the following files from my system at 
http://mattsmith.org.nz/pleasehelp


/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
/var/django/dogscience/settings.py
/var/django/dogscience/urls.py
/var/django/dogscience/apache/django.wsgi

Thank you,
