While struggling through trying to get a WSGI implementation of
Django+Pinax up and running, I finally went back to the basics and just
tried to get an "out of the box" Pinax basic project working.
It worked fine using the development web server, but failed with the WSGI
setup.
I finally narrowed it down to the fact that Apache couldn't find the
sqlite3 database. And that was because the name wasn't fully qualified.
My solution was to change the default definition of the database name in
settings.py to
"NAME": os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT,"dev.db"),
it was:
"NAME": "dev.db",
Not a major bug here, but I believe that the "out of the box" solution
should work in multiple environments without jumping through a lot of
hoops. It just would have made my troubleshooting tonight a lot easier.
