I'm in the process of moving our projects onto production servers and
attempting to remove explicit references to the application name in my
files. I want to be able to run a full production and a staging
version on the same server (I've set this up with Apache VirualHosts).
Both versions will be updated via Subversion from the same repository
but I want only the settings files to be the only difference between
them.
However, I'm struggling to get it working when I remove all explicit
project references from views.py and some other custom modules.
For example, the two versions called Prod and Test are sitting in
separate directories, each with their own setting files. The settings
files and locations are defined in the VirtualHost definition. Both
sites work fine when I change the explicit references in both url.py
files and in the relevant views.py and modules
>From the top level url.py I'd have:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^', include('prod.promotions.urls')), #(or
test.promotions.uls)
...
In the url.py in promotions would be:
from promotions.models import *
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^home/$', 'prod.promotions.views.home',), #(or
test.promotions.views.home)
....
Then in the Views.py I have to explicitly refer to:.
from prod import settings #(or -
from test imprt settings)
from prod.promotions.models import *
from prod.promotions.form_defs import *
I have tried to change the references to run without the prod or test.
e.g. from promotions.models import. But this results in an input
error. I've also played tunes with the PythonPath settings in Apache,
but again to no avail.
The whole concept of Django is this portability, so it seems unlikely
that I should have to explicitly refer to each application. I was
expecting it to obtain the settings and location from the Apache
VirtualHost directive. For completeness this is as follows:
<Location "/">
SetHandler python-program
PythonPath "['/usr'] + sys.path"
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /tmp
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE prod.settings
PythonDebug On
</Location>
It is highly likely that I've made a simple slip up, but at present I
can't see it. Any advice welcome
Tim
