Thanks Karen

I had caught the PythonPath issue after sending the post. Here's what
worked:


PythonPath "['/usr/local/apache2/htdocs'] + sys.path"
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE hwsw2.settings
PythonDebug On

Difficulty getting Django working with Apache and mod_python

[projecktzero]

I'm pretty new to Django. I'm having trouble getting my Django
app/web-site to run under Apache2 and Mod_Python. I'm running Django
0.96. I installed Apache2 and Mod_Python and tested both, and they
seem to work properly.

In my http.conf, I have the following:


Python Path "['/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/hwsw2','/usr/lib/
python2.3/site-packages/django'] + sys.path"
SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE hwsw2.settings
PythonDebug On


The file permissions appear to be correct.(apache owns the .py files
and they are executable, the .html templates are all ready-only for
the world.)

Unfortunately, I get the following error:

EnvironmentError: Could not import settings 'hwsw2.settings' (Is it on
sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named hwsw2.settings

Does anyone have any ideas on what I did to mis-configure this?

forms with dynamic number of fields

[projecktzero]

Hi,

I'm new to Django. As a small project, I'm making a purchase request
form with one section that has the user information and the 2nd
section has items(computer hardware and software) that the user can
request. This list of items in the 2nd section is dynamic in that it
reads from a list of items in a database, so it can change depending
on what has been added/removed from the database. Is it possible to
use newforms for this type of form? If so, how? I'm using 0.96. I'm
not sure how I'd construct the form object.

class RequestForm(forms.Form):
username = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
email = forms.EmailField()
department = forms.CharField()
# some sort of class/dictionary... of items ordered, and qty
(laptops: qty 2, MS Visio 2003 qty 2)...
# this is where I get lost.
