Hi, got a couple questions after the getting started. I've followed
the tutorial and have it deployed to an apache instance locally. But
planning out my next steps for my app, i have some questions hopefully
someone can add insight to.
1. Reading the documentation for deploying using mod_wsgi. It says
not to use just 'settings' in django.wsgi The example has
sys.path.append('/path/to/app/mysite')
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'.
this doesn't work because of namespace path problems, my workaround
is:
sys.path.append('/path/to/app')
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'
My fear is that it would put multiple projects into play under /path/
to/app like /path/to/app/mysite2 etc... The bigger question is my
solution doesn't match the examples.
2. Under the mysite project i have the polls app. Lets say I want to
create polls-mobile, and reuse all the data and models from polls. Do
i just import polls.poll inside polls-mobile? Is that the standard
practice?
3. Authentication, I have read the benefits to authentication model
and using the django.User object. I'd like to employ that into my
apps, but it seems that maybe the django.User object is more suited
for the project and not for the apps. If my polls app is going to
require logins for usage, should i use the django.User and built in
authentication scheme or build something poll specific for security
reasons. It seems one wrong check (e.g. superuser) and I
inadvertently allow someone admin access to the site.
4. After deploying to apache, in my virtual host i have:
WSGIScriptAlias / /opt/local/www/mysite/apache/django.wsgi. Thinking
that http://dev.polls.com would take me right to the polls app.
However I still have to do http://dev.polls.com/polls to get to polls
app.
Thanks in advance for any info.
