Django Database problems

2010-08-25 Thread Robbington
Hi all,

I've been using Django for about a month now, with no real problem on
my linode vps with ubuntu. For some reason now everytime I start a new
project I cant sync the database. I get a "Need to fill in the
database name' message even though it clearly filled in. Even if I can
get past that bit and can sync everything, going to /admin I get the
cant access database error. The paths are right, I have changed the
database permission to be able to write to them I just dont know what
the prob is.

I really dont want to have to re-install my who system as I have a few
web projects running from it all ready, so if anyone has come across
this or has a fix, please let me know


Thanks


Rob

Re: Django Database problems

2010-08-25 Thread Robbington
I'm using Sqlite

DATABASE_ENGINE = 'sqlite3'   # 'postgresql_psycopg2',
'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
DATABASE_NAME = '/var/www/django/robproject/rbdata.db' #
Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
DATABASE_USER = '' # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_PASSWORD = '' # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_HOST = '' # Set to empty string for localhost.
Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_PORT = '' # Set to empty string for default. Not
used with sqlite3.

I did open a ticket with the django people, but they said it was some
kind of compatibilty issue... I had installed Django 1.2, so I could
avoid the compatibilty issues with CMS, but after installing django-
tagging, running django-admin.py --version it claims it is v1.1.
Dont know if this has anything to do with it.

Re: mod_wsgi setup issue

2010-08-28 Thread Robbington
I use a Cherokee, Uwsgi setup. It really takes the hassle out of it as
the Cherokee admin interface just has a wizard that you point to the
uwsgi.xml file.

I use a Linode with Ubuntu serving django with a uwsgi/cherokee setup.
Its remarkable how easy and intuitive it is and its hardly bank
breaking at £10 a month.
You cant beat the flexibility that you get.
The only complaint I've got is the compatiblity issues with Django 1.1
and Cms. Its caused me countless re-installs.

Django + Postgres

2010-08-31 Thread Robbington
Hi,

I seem to be having a problem setting up django and postgresql.

I have created a database and switched users to postgres then sync'd
the database successfully in my django project directory. But it isn't
finding the admin page still. No errors, just cant find them.


Can any one help with Postgres or point me in the direction of a good
tutorial?

Thanks

Re: Django + Postgres

2010-08-31 Thread Robbington
Apologies I should have been more clear,

'It' refers to my domain name when visited "/admin"
All the django settings are correct, I've used sqlite3 and got the
admin up and working.

So I have installed postgres, pyscopg2.

su postgres
created a database
updated my settings.py:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'template1',
'USER': 'postgres',
'PASSWORD': 'postgres',

Then I have su postgres
postg...@myvps:/var/www/django/$ python manage.py syncdb

That upates the database, with all the admin database stuff, but it
doesnt find anything at the admin url

Django v1.1

2010-09-17 Thread Robbington
Hey,

I keep getting this annoying problem that when I download and install
a new django package, say django-registration it reverts django from
version 1.2 to 1.1... Is there anyway to avoid this as it messes up my
databases each time for each django project I am running.

I've used a variety of methods for getting these packages,
easy_install, aptitude install, pip install all of the seem to do it..

And does any one know the best way to upgrade django back to version
1.2, do I have to delete it and start again?

Thanks

Rob

Re: Django v1.1

2010-09-17 Thread Robbington
Cool, thanks.

I guess I will have to start using virtualenv, it came installed with
my vps stack script, but I disabled it as I was having probs using
postgres. I guess I never gave it a great deal of time.

I just dont get why its now reverted to v1.1, its not even on my
python path, print sys.path shows only djangov1.2.egg on there..

Frustrating.

Re: trouble creating first project

2010-10-12 Thread Robbington
Phil,

If it helps, /usr/local/bin is where linux looks for command line
commands. If you have a quick look in there you will see things like
ls, nano, and other program names that you can type into the command
prompt. Hense the reason a link to djanog-admin.py has to exist in
there for Ubuntu to know that it can be executed from the command
prompt.

I mention this because some one has said that it is to do with your
Python path, and this isnt true, its to do with the way you installed
django in the first place.

Personally I dont use svn, as I always had problems with it, you might
want to look into pythons setup-tools and use easy_install or pip.
Both I have found to be excellent.

Whilst getting to grips with django on ubuntu myself I encountered
many python path problems as I am sure you will. You may want to read
up on virtualenv (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv) and creating
your projects inside a virtual environment as it will help you in the
long run.

Hope thats helpful in someway :)

Re: trouble creating first project

2010-10-12 Thread Robbington
Ok Steve,

No need to get huffy. We are trying to help out Phil and if you had
read some of the previous posts you might notice I wasnt taking about
you.

Not that I wanted to name names
Shawn Milochik
"It seems that the command you're running is not on your PYTHONPATH.
You may have to enter the full path to django-admin."

You are absolutley right about ls not existing in /urs/local/bin but
for the scope of the post it seems to be an adequate example as he was
using it to create a symbolic link. I meant no disrepect your Linux
sensabilitys but as the guy sounds like he obvioulsy new to this I
thought I would keep it simple

Unlike..

"It's to do with the shell search path (under most shells, the $PATH
environment variable) which is a colon-separated list (Windows: a
semicolon-separated) list of directories which the shell searches for
programs to execute. "

Very helpful Steve, pat yourself on the back.

Kindest regards

Rob

ps, if you are planning to reply send me a direct email to continue
this discussion as its better than filling this guys post with
rubbish.

Re: How to launch home page from urls.py?

2010-10-13 Thread Robbington
Hi Chris,

I use


urlpatterns = patterns('django.views.generic.simple',
 (r'^$', 'direct_to_template',{'template': 'index.html'}),

)

Where template is the defined template directory in my settings.py

Seems a better way to me, as then if you want to expand your site you
can just incorperate django's templating language.

Re: file read/write location

2010-10-16 Thread Robbington
Hi Jim,

I would assume that Django writes and reads files to myproject because
in its mind it is the top level directory for your project
environment. To Django + python nothing else really exsists. If that
makes sense?

Also, if you dont mind me asking, why not just use the database for
recording and retrieving data, thats whats its there for.

Re: Tutorial Error - TemplateDoesNotExist at /polls/

2010-10-21 Thread Robbington
Where is your template_dirs in settings.py pointed too?
If you can post your urls.py.

Looking at the tutorial again,

(r'^polls/$', 'polls.views.index'), means that the url 'polls' will
serve the index function in the views.py file inside your polls app.
Your index.html should lie inside the top level of your templates
directory and will serve what ever you set as your top level domain
name, or http://192.168.1.131:/ of course you have to set that up
in your urls.py

I use urlpatterns = patterns('django.views.generic.simple',
(r'^$', 'direct_to_template',{'template': 'index.html'}),

and then you would have

 (r'polls/$ , ('polls.view.index')

Re: Tutorial Error - TemplateDoesNotExist at /polls/

2010-10-21 Thread Robbington
You see, what I tried to explain in the last message, my friend was
that index in 'polls.views.index') doesnt point the url polls/ to the
index.html but to the function you are suppose to create in the
views.py file in your app directory.

Your view.py file (inside your poll app folder)should look like

from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request):
return HttpResponse("Hello world blah blah blah")

I can see that its a bit confusing.

Apologies, I wasnt sure which bit of the tutorial you where at. I
think I see now the problem. Did you just stop reading after you
entered the last bit of code in views.py?

"""Reload the page. Now you'll see an error:

TemplateDoesNotExist at /polls/"""

So index.html is in /home/me/Templates/polls/index.html ?

Where template_DIR is "/home/me/Templates"

Glad to finally see some one using Cherokee with django. Dont just use

Re: Cherokee for home developing

2010-10-29 Thread Robbington
Hey Karim,

The best way to save yourself time and effort is really to use the
Django development server when testing out alterations.


Max,

Actually I mentioned Uwsgi,

Perhaps if you are going to state potential bugs with software you
could be so kind as to add the specifics in your posts and not just
ambiguous statements such as "Do not use the uwsgi wizard: it's
currently broken" we are not all as dedicated to the Cherokee mailing
list as your good self. I had a quick look, here is a small excerpt:

"If you manually set the uWSGI source you will have no problem but the
wizard make wrong assumptions"

Now I appreciate, as I am sure my fellow Django-ers are, that you
brought this issue to light, but you could have saved some trouble as
I mentioned before.
I cant help but feel your tone to be slightly obnoxious, maybe that's
just me, but these forums are to share experience and assist those who
are new or have a problem. You would do well to acknowledge that.

Regards

Rob

Dear Paul and Max,

As I mentioned before please email me directly should you wish to
continue this discussion further, and or create a new post. I feel it
unfair to discuss this in this particular forum as it is unrelated to
the original subject matter.

I meant no offense to Max, I can see how the word obnoxious can be

Re: Cherokee for home developing

"Anyway, my intent here was to help. It's ridiculous how everything

about what to post where."

I was trying to be courtesy towards Karim as this is his post.

Consider, Max, whether this post would have been better had you not
contributed at all.
I don't see how anything you have posted has been of great use as he
clearly stated he 'Might try using Uwsgi if he runs into more trouble'

You didn't even ask him what version of cherokee he is using, nor have
you posted any material to assist him if he wished to use uwsgi.

All you have done is stamp your feet about an issue that is
essentially mute.

I do not wish to be rude, and I asked you to email me directly because
I did not want to perpetuate this pathetic and pointless debate in a
public forum any longer, but for all intensive purposes you really are

Karim,

If you hve not already quit reading these posts(I wouldnt blame you if
you had) I want to once again apologise.

I only posted as I was glad to see someone else using Cherokee and
wished to offer a small insight into another way of serving python
code.

The whole thing has become idiotic and I am in part to blame.

I hope that you have taken a small amount of useful information from
all this and continue to develop some great apps.

Re: cannot setup database

2010-11-01 Thread Robbington
Silly question,

but are you setting the path to your database file or to the Sqlite3
executable?

Just seems an odd name to use as your database file, if using sqlite3
I would normally create a database named closely to my project name.
my_project.db or something.

Re: Repost Admin Site Without Graphics

2010-11-01 Thread Robbington
Hi,

By 'with out graphics' do you mean no css or Javascript?

If so you want to make sure the value for these 3 varibles are correct
as its not governed by the templates list.

MEDIA_ROOT = ' /var/www/django_project/media' # Where media is the
copied folder of admin media or a symbolic link if you are using
Linux.

MEDIA_URL = 'media/'

ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/'

Re: Admin without template (no colors, no css, just simple html)

2010-11-03 Thread Robbington
Personally I dont bother creating symlinks to my admin media, I just
copy the media folder over to my project directory. Anyway:

If you think that your settings.py is right:

MEDIA_ROOT = '/var/www/django/project/media/'
MEDIA_URL = 'media/'
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/'

or its a permissions problem (Not sure why it would be)

you can check with ls -n and alter permissions with chmod. Here is a
guide if your not sure (http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/usersguide/
linux_ugfilesp.html)

Or check out how to setup a fcgi django project from the main django
site. 
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/fastcgi/?from=olddocs

If you are a beginner, you might save yourself some trouble using
mod_python to serve python instead of fastcgi, just my opinion. I use
Cherokee anyways

Hope that helped,

Re: Admin without template (no colors, no css, just simple html)

2010-11-03 Thread Robbington
Well my friend, I have quickly looked into hosting a django project
via blue host and this is what the django site has to say:

Similar setup as Dreamhost. Django is listed as unsupported, but with
some pain it does work, and has a good price..
http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoFriendlyWebHosts

I use a vps, so I have never had to intergrate it with a 3rd party
hosting system.


""But I have my django and my project in another patch, actually, out
of
www directory, but I have the fastcgi file right there, only that
file.""

Not sure what you mean by 'in another patch'? Dont worry about the
location of fastcgi, it is responsible for letting apache serve you
python code, if you can log into the admin site, then its working. If
you think its responsible for not serving the static media, then I
would suggest reading the full fastcgi documentation. I use a cherokee-
uwsgi setup, so I cant really comment.

"" So, Where is my project directory in my shared hosting ""

The project directory is the one created when you run django-admin.py
startproject. Where your settings.py file is located.

Re: 'django-admin.py' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Looks like django is not on your sytem path. Have you used python much
in Windows and are familiar with Environmental variables?

Look like this problem has been addresses on the django forums
http://thedjangoforum.com/board/thread/4/django-admin-py-error-when-installing-dj/

and here is a link from the main python site explaining python path.

http://docs.python.org/using/windows.html

Other than that chances are you havnt installed django right, make
sure that it is sitting in the right folder inside your python
directory. Dont use django and windows much,
Think its c:/python/lib/sitepackages...

(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')), "

If you are recieveing this error when visting www.yoursite/admin/doc

Re: Django Admin template error

Ok,

Thanks, I was just seeing if it was a more basic error.

Unfortunately with out seeing more of your code/ error message it is
hard to diagnose the problem. I have to go out now for a few hours,
but if you post the full error message someone/or myself when I get
back maybe able to help you.

It could be a mirad of things, error in one of your views, a problem
in your settings.py(Check you ROOT_URLCONF to make sure it is pointing
to the right place)or a compatiabilty issue if you have recently
upgraded django, unless I have missed something really obvious. I have
found a few posts that resolve similar problems to get you started:

its an ImportError which means that it couldn't find your main urls.py

Out of interest, this isnt the usual mysite.polls app kind of problem,
how did you encouter this error?

Re: -bash: django-admin.py: command not found

I dont think you are going to get a great deal of help if you just
repeat your posts, 
http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/bab395cd78eca494?hl=en#
There was some sound advice from experienced users of Django and
Linux.

There are also already some great tutorials on installing Django,
django admin commands and this problem,

http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/InstallationPitfalls
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/?from=olddocs
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/?from=olddocs

If you are still having trouble after the solution being
comprehensivley explained go further by stating what you dont
understand, or where you are struggling.

As it was stated before, its not to do with your version of Python,
but your installation of Django. a copy of Django-admin.py needs to be
in the folder usr/bin for your linux system to know that it is a
system command.

Re: -bash: django-admin.py: command not found

2010-11-16 Thread Robbington
Thats ok, I can appriciate how frustrating it can be trying to learn
of your own back from the beginning as a lot of the advice can seem to
be in a foreign language. But if you dont understand you need to state
that, as often if you double post people will just ignore you, noone
gets paid to submit on these forums.


Anyways, to your problem.

Firstly, understand that python looks in the folder site-packages to
find any additional packages like django. I'm guessing that your
problem is that you have not installed Django properly, check to see
if you have a folder in site-packages named Django.

Secondly, Linux looks in the usr/bin folder for system commands. So
When you type django-admin.py into the command prompt, linux looks in
that folder and if it cant find djang-admin.py it returns that error
you are seeing.

At the command prompt: find / -name 'django' to make sure that there
is a folder inside site-packages called django.

How are you going about installing django? apt-get install,
easy_install, pip install?




As mentioned before creating a symbolic link isnt the best way to go
about it, installing django properly is your best bet. You will save
yourself a lot of trouble in the long run.

But just getting it working is often half the learning battle, so if
you feel you really need to, locate django-admin.py: find / -name
'django-admin.py'

and make a symbolic link to your usr/bin folder. It should be located
at /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/
site-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py

So you would type: sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/
Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py /
usr/bin.

I hope I havnt been to condesending, just trying to put it in easy
terms. I will however STRESS again, dont just create a symbolic link,
install Django properly.

Re: how to add poll app in Admin page

when i added the Admin class to Poll class as inner class,

Guess you mean when you register your poll app with django admin?

Check a few things of the list.

You have added your poll app to 'installed apps' in your projects
settings.py file and ran 'python manage.py syncdb'

You have created a new file named admin,py in your poll app folder
that looks like this?

//admin.py//
from polls.models import Poll
from django.contrib import admin

admin.site.register(Poll)

Re: django-admin.py not functional on 64 bit Vista

Hi Micheal,

Pretty sure it has nothing to do with your version of windows.


 appended MS-DOS PATH: with "C:\hp\bin\Python\Lib\site-packages
\django
\bin"
which allows me to run django-admin.py

If you have installed Python and django propely, there is no need to
append anything. It should work straight out the box.

I'm thinking you disabled Django-admin.py by setting the environmental
varible for DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE. Try unsetting it to see if that
works.

1.3 alpha has been released as a testing package. It isnt the most

1.2 unless your plan is to help the django team with bug fixes.


 Also, you are reading the wrong tutorial for your version, that is

instructs:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from polls.models import Poll

info_dict = {

Re: Beginner question on admin interface

2010-12-06 Thread Robbington
Hi Stephan,

Sounds like a nice project, but unless you have a good deal of time
and a great amount of expiernce in programming + a entire development
team to back you up I would have to say that scripting your own
content management system from scratch may be slighty beyond you. If
of course that is what you meant.

If however you meant you were looking for some existing applications
for Django then you may want to look into these:

Self-Registration. Look into Django-registration
http://bitbucket.org/ubernostrum/django-registration/


Tagging: http://code.google.com/p/django-tagging/

Django-Cms: http://www.django-cms.org/ (although I have come across
some compatibilty issues using Django-cms and django-tagging together,
with regards to the Django version)

Good luck

Re: How to setup the django progject to apache2

2011-05-01 Thread Robbington
Fair enough,

But if you are in the stages of development then its best to use the
development server due to the way apache caches data, as changes to
your code may not always show straight away leaving you scratching
your head as to what is causing any unforeseen errors.

Anyways, if you are really looking to use Apache, it would seem to me
like you are missing a document root in your virtual host settings. no
expert I must confess as I gave up with apache and started using
Cherokee a while ago.

Might also be as you have nothing in your urls.py to match to index. ?
