Apache config. admin page displays without stylesheets
Django runs as expected using manage.py runserver, but when I run it from apache certain files are not found. This is because the apache user has a different base directory than the user running manage.py. So, I added absolute paths to my setting.py and other files. Now through apache one can access all the modules and pages just fine. But when I try to go to /admin I see there is no css formatting. everything is very plain and not like the version through runserver at all. I assume this is because the css file is not being found. But if the admin code is found, and allows me the properly add items and everything, why isn't the css found? granted, the html code I've written doesn't have any css going on, so I cant say that only the admin pages aren't rendering right. my apache setup looks like: SetHandler python-program PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython PythonPath "['/home/libadmin/library/django-ils/','/home/ libadmin/library/django-ils/bookshare'] + sys.path" SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE bookshare.settings PythonOption django.root /home/libadmin/library/django-ils/bookshare/ PythonDebug On Thinking that a relative path to the css file was being misused I checked the source of the admin login page in firefox. The admin site is looking for this file exsists in both /usr/share/python-support/python-django/django/contrib/admin/media/css/ login.css /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/django/contrib/admin/media/css/ login.css so, is django not finding this file because of an irrendered relative path? and if so, what is wrong with my configuration that this isn't found? (This is being run from a cloned mercurial repo, so I did not start this project on this machine with the django scripts. if this is the issue, is there a way to manually do what the startproject or startapp scripts are supposed to do?) thanks, Elliot -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Third party object like model field
Hello! I'd like to ask a bit newbie question but cannot realize how to do it. How I can implement following model: class Something(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length = 50) # and so on.. # next fields have predefined Django types #... ts = # where ts should be the object created by scikits.timeseries module (http://pytseries.sourceforge.net/) So, in short words, how can I create model with field that contains third party object?

Hi Ozgur, Minimum hardware requirements are relative to the amount of traffic you will be receiving. It is certainly possible to host a Django web site on a single 256MB VPS from e.g. Rackspace, but I would not expect that single VPS to be able to handle more than a very small number of visitors at once. On the other hand, 2 load-balanced 512MB instances serving the Django app plus a larger instance running the database should suffice to handle a much larger number of concurrent users -- depending on how you architected the site. If you have particular views that run lots of database queries and perform a large number of calculations, and those views turn out to be popular destinations for your visitors, you can very rapidly run out of resources. On the other hand, if you have a good caching strategy in place and minimal required computation for your site, small servers can potentially handle a much larger load. You will need determine for yourself how much computing hardware will suffice to handle your particular requirements. You should approach this task by load-testing your application, using such tools as httpperf (http://code.google.com/p/httperf/) and Tsung (http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/) to simulate usage of your app. You will want to test all your views, and also simulate what you think will be the normal use pattern. With the knowledge of how each view responds to load, you can then tune those views individually for better performance. With the knowledge of how your app responds to the normal use pattern, you can gauge how much hardware will be required to handle your estimated number of visitors. In short, profile your app, and make decisions based on that knowledge. As with many questions regarding deployment, the answer is "It depends". ---Peter Herndon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Well, this is embarrassing. I had actually read (err, skimmed?) that page looking for the answer, and did not see the needle in the haystack. After a more careful reading, it's perfectly clear. The attribute name 'boolean' threw me off a bit. I thought maybe there was some Python magic happening related to the fact that the function returned a boolean. Now all is clear. Thanks very much.

How to make base.html a little more useful?
I am somewhat new to Django, but I have been able to figure out the form, model, view, session flow etc fairly well. I am going to ask this question in an abstract sense, because I really think a simple abstract answer is enough to get my mind in the right place. I have a base.html that has a header, left nav bar, main content area, footer, etc. Of course some views override these sections to drastically alter their content, etc (the main content being the most common of course). One thing that I would like to do is put some more useful nav links in the left sidebar for users who are authenticated. Such as a list of their friends who are also online (even if the data is pulled from third party) or a list of projects they are currently working on so it has hyperlinks to take them directly to those project editing pages. What I am mentally missing is how to get that data fed into base.html with every view call. Each time the left nav in base.html would be rendered it would need to draw data from a couple different apps I have installed on the site. Can someone point me in the right direction? -Wes Wagner -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Executing ssh scripts with django
Hi guys, I'm developing an ISP control panel for my organization. I just finished the web interface based on django admin and now it's time to introduce calls to the "system scripts" in order to make the changes effective on the ISP servers (add users, manage virtualhosts, domains, and all this stuff). To achieve that I was thinking in overriding the save and delete methods from my models ( virtualhost model, domain model..). For example. before saving a new "apache virtualhost" I want to run a proper "create vhost" script through ssh using Paramiko library and if it is successful save the new virtualhost into the database, otherwise send a message to enduser telling that an error has occurred. class Virtualhost(models.Model): def save(self, *args, **kwargs): if not self.id: ssh = Ssh('create_new_virtualhost', self) if ssh.errors: message.add(self.user, 'something wrong was happend') else: super(self, Virtualhost).save(*args, **kwargs) I'm wondering if this approach is the right way for the interaction between django and ISP servers. Moreover, I read that is highly recommended to use a message queue like celery in order to avoid a possible 'long wait' until ssh command ends [1]. Would you execute the save function through celery? Is it safe? or maybe if save() is executed asynchronously it can cause some unexpected behavior? I need some "expert" opinion here :) Would you affront this situation in a similar way or would you take a completely different approach? Many thanks!!

Local testing setup with Python 2.7 OS X installer, mod_wsgi and Apache?
the Python 2.7 OS X installer builds a 'fat' Python install, which *should work* with the OS X Apache2 install and mod_wsgi. The Python 2.6 OS X installer didn't support 64 bit architectures, necessitating Apache2 to be trimmed 32 bit ( http://groups.google.com/group/modwsgi/browse_thread/thread/cacddadc0c3c8e93/c92475afc0cc31eb?q= ). For a local mod_wsgi/Django/Apache testing environment with the minimum of work (in this case using the OS X Apache and an OS X Python 2.7 installer), I'd like to hear from anyone with this setup on OS X 10.5, before I ditch my Python 2.6, rebuild mod_wsgi with Python 2.7 and restore 64 bit Apache2.

All the code you are writing for Django is run on the server and only web pages are *displayed* to users on their machines. This means that in order to import a CSV file, you need to transfer it to the server first and then you'll be able to import it there. Note that this has nothing to do with the admin site. This is a fundamental think to understand. I'd suggest that you forget the admin site for the moment and focus on the "transfer CSV file to server first". Take a look at the email Felix has sent you regarding FileField and try to code the part that handles file upload to the server. Once you have that, you can start thinking about importing the contents of the file into the database. Cheers Jirka P.S. OK, there is a way to import data without uploading them to server first, but it's much more complicated than the one outlined above and involves multiple different technologies that have to work together. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
