Problems with default settings.py file
Hello I am a python noob going through the getttingstarted with django
tutorial.
For some reason When I start a new project, the default settings.py file is
missing a lot of default settings (Admin, Media, Some of the Databse info,
Statis_file, Logging, etc.). Im looking for any direction on why this is
happening and what I might be doing wrong. Thanks!
Here is my current complete settings file below (version that gets created
with missing info):
"""
Django settings for microblog2 project.
For more information on this file, see
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/settings/
For the full list of settings and their values, see
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/settings/

Best practice for utilizing vagrant and virtual env
I am following the getting started with Django tutorial and managed to finish the 1st project but when I re-entered Vagrant SSH all packages i installed on my vagrant shared folder and my virtual environment were gone. I think it might be because virtual box has several different version of my precise box. This might be whats causing the missing Envs and packages that ive already installed. It seems like im doing something wrong spinnng up the vagrant instance. Whats is best practice for setting up a development environment once in Vagrant SSH? Currently i have done: 1) Vagrant SSH 2) Installed default python packages (pip, dev, git, etc.) 3) Install Virtual env 4) CD to shared folder (ie /vagrant) 5) Create virtual env ( 'virtualenv env_name') 6) Source virtual env (source env_name/bin/activate) 7) Install Virtual env pkgs (ie. Django, pyscho2, etc.) Once im done for the day: 8) deactivate virtual env 9) exit out of ssh 10) vagrant halt Is this generally the correct workflow? I'm confused about step 5 in particular. Is this the correct way to create the virtual env or should I default to a different folder (the tutorial starts the folder with '~/')?. Am i'm shutting things down properly? Any help would be appreciated - Thanks in advance!
