hi all i had the same experience the first time i wanted to try out django. the need to set up apache and mysql before you can even do anything is quite troublesome for first-time users.
but this is absolutely not necessary. you can go strated almost instantly with the built-in server and sqlite. just ignore all the explanations regarding apache and mysql and you are up and running in a few minutes. it is absolutely not necessary to have a production ready setup for doing steps in django and the simple setup is not nearly as bad as it seems from reading the docs. you can just start developing your first app and care about scalability later. it might be worthwhile to write a simpler quickstart guide that uses just the simple setup without bothering newbies with lots of configurations that are not necessary at the beginning. my 2c André On Sun, Jun 1, 2008 at 1:04 PM, slix <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > looking at: > http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/install/ > > it just seems a little to complicated to get started. > > i eventually want to run my app on a big server but right now i just > want to launch a small html-site that can do some calculations based > on input and then do some output. > > ive tried before to get mysql and then you need mysqldb etc and then > you have to make it all work together. > > > isnt there one download this lick installö and go package? > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
