Hi, i've had some strange errors when trying to install django
standalone, so i have used the whole bundle option, linked from
documentation. Bitnami. It installed python, django, apache,
sqlite.... I use Windows XP btw.
I'm not sure whether Bitnami will let you choose the locations for your
stack components but if not I would suggest you uninstall everything and
start again installing into your own locations.
IMHO you need short directory names without spaces so you can easily
adjust settings and config files and actually use less brain-space to
make things happen.
If it was me I'd create C:\lamp as a root directory for python and
apache. I'd create C:\users\Luka\dprojects as root for Django projects
and their source including (eventually) your own css and images etc.
C:\users\Luka by the way is where Windows 7 will put your "My Documents"
etc and profile.
Then install ...
- Apache into C:\lamp\apache
- Python into C:\lamp\python
- Sqlite into C:\lamp\sqlite (not that I use Sqlite - I prefer PostgreSQL)
Provided Python installs successfully it will establish all the
necessary environment vars so that Django will automatically install
into C:\lamp\python\Lib\site-packages\django
After that, in C:\users\Luka\dprojects\first I'd try again according to
the tutorial
On my own XP machine, I adjusted "My Documents" to point to
C:\users\miked which makes life less complex.
Other people might have other ideas and I'm not insisting you give up
spaces in filenames. This is just my take on your problems.
Good luck
Mike
And i've went first run on python and django by the tutorial.
Unfortunatly i have stopped at part 2 when i should login to admin
panel, and can't solve problem with css and js files. They just don't
load, do a 404 and i see admin panel in a pure html layout (scary).
So how could i fix this?
My settings.py and urls.py are all default, except i turned on all
those apps that tutorial said to and admin url.
I see that the css and js files lies in their folders under this path:
C:\Program Files\BitNami DjangoStack\apps\django\django\contrib\admin
\media
While my app(models, views,tests) is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Luka\BitNami DjangoStack projects\djangoTut
\polls
and settings.py is one folder up
How should i configure and what to make those damn css load?
