It is a Django web app and Django is installed. I copy the project from
remote server to my xampp/htdocs.
What are the steps if i want to develop in Windows OS and using Aptana
Studio as IDE?
1. Establish a repository to manage source code change, get your
database (eg Postgres) running
2. Set up a working area in your home directory eg., C:\Users\Nathanial\py
3. Copy the project tree of files into a project root in the working
area eg., C:\Users\Nathanial\py\foo_project
Note: Check the docs for guidance on what it might look like.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/intro/tutorial01/#creating-a-project
4. Find out where settings.py lives in the project tree. It might be
C:\Users\Nathanial\py\foo_project\foo\foo\settings.py
5. Create an environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=foo.settings
6. As per
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/intro/tutorial01/#the-development-server
try running (in a DOS shell) ...
$> cd \Users\Nathaniel\foo_project\foo
$foo> manage.py syncdb (to create an empty database) or otherwise create
it from a production database dump file.
$foo> manage.py runserver
7. Open a browser at http://localhost:8000/<existing-working-link> to
see what is there. Where the existing link is copied from the live site.
I don't use an IDE so I can't help there. But anyway you need to go one
step at a time and I think an IDE can come later.
Here is the best source of info: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/
Good luck
Mike
