I'd like to have a solution to this problem too.
My specific problem is that I have a bunch of sites in development on my
laptop:
http://localhost/coolsite/
http://localhost/boringsite/
http://localhost/newhomepage/
And these then get deployed to production servers:
http://coolsite.com/
http://boringsite/newcoolthing/
http://homepage.org/
Well, if all of your sites are separate django projects that's easy, you
already have a (static) dir pointed by your
MEDIA_URL, so:
1. Store file system path to your project in the SITE_ROOT variable in the
config file.
2. Anywhere when you must supply a path (like ImageField, MEDIA_ROOT, etc.),
use os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, 'foo').
3. Put all of your static files under /media/ and always use URLs like this
/media/img/foo.png, /media/js/foo.js, etc.
4. Setup URLs:
- Config file:
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/admin-media/'
MEDIA_URL = os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, 'media')
MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/'
- Apache:
Alias /media/ "<SITE_ROOT>/media/"
Alias /admin-media/ "<django root>/django/contrib/admin/media/"
- Lighttpd:
alias.url = (
"/media/" => "<SITE_ROOT>/media/",
"/admin-media/" => "<django root>/django/contrib/admin/media/",
)
5. Also you can use this in your main url conf to make this files accessible
when using django-admin.py runserver (from
another post on the list) - admin media files are handled automagically:
from django.conf.settings import LOCAL_DEV, SITE_ROOT
if LOCAL_DEV:
import os
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root':
os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, 'media')}),
)
#
I'm using a LOCAL_DEV var to distinguish between local runserver
(DEBUG=LOCAL_DEV=True), staging server (DEBUG=True,
LOCAL_DEV=False) and production server (DEBUG=LOCAL_DEV=False).
With this setting I have a local server, a staging server and a production
server setup which only differs in SITE_ROOT
(sometimes, because I tend to replicate directory structure from my production
server), LOCAL_DEV and DEBUG variables.
