Re: django, mod_wsgi, apache and sharing media files (video) from a separate directory

[Ramón Carrillo]

Hi Adam,

>From your settings.py I guess the expanded url is something like
/PROYECTOS/file.xyz, right?

But, in your Apache alias your are serving the url /proyectos/ [0],
and urls are case sensitive unless you're using mod_speling [1].

I think "Alias /PROYECTOS/ /PROYECTOS/" should do the trick.

Re: POST URL questions

[Ramón Carrillo]

Hi,

POST variables are appended to the HTTP request body instead of the URL [0].

If you want a variable to be available in the request.POST dictionary,
the browser must send it as a POST variable (in the request body). You
could use a hidden input to do it:

Hi,

request.GET contains the URL keywords, regardless of whether it's a GET or
POST request. In the case of a GET request, *all* the form data is
contained in request.GET if it's a GET request; if it's a POST request,
request.POST contains the form data, and request.GET contains the URL
arguments.

I hope that helps!

Yours,
Russ Magee %-)

Re: Django

[Mark Phillips]

It all depends on how you learn. You can read the API documentation and
gain a good understanding of what django provides as a framework. Or, read
the source and the comments to really understand what is going on. Reading
the source is a great use of your time.

Personally, I find it easier to learn the different aspects of a framework
by building something and running into situation of "how would I implement
functionality X", and then read the docs, forums, source and ask questions
to see how others solved this problem. One advantage is that you learn
**how** to find "django answers" to specific problems/issues as well as how
to use the framework. But everyone learns differently, so you need to do
what is best for your style of learning.

YMMV,

Mark

django, mod_wsgi, apache and sharing media files (video) from a separate directory

[Adam Teale]

Hi Guys,


I am building a django app that runs out of my /Users/me/Dropbox directory.


Localhost is pointed at my /Users/me/Sites directory.


mod_wsgi installed.

apache installed

django installed and app working fine in development mode


I am trying to embed media in a template

This media comes from a directory outside of the django app - in the root 
of the machine - /PROYECTOS


The permissions for the directories and preceding directories are readable 
by _www


I think that I understand that

- mod_wsgi will serve the dynamic files

- apache will serve the static files like the css and template files, as 
well as the media files I am referencing in the /PROYECTOS directory


I have the following in my settings.py:

STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(BASE, "static"), )

STATIC_URL = "/static/"

MEDIA_URL = "/PROYECTOS/"

WSGI_APPLICATION = 'mbrain.wsgi.application'


In the /etc/apache2/extra/vhosts/localhost.conf I have:





 DocumentRoot "/Users/me/Sites/localhost"

ServerName localhost


 WSGIDaemonProcess localhost 
python-path=/Users/me/Dropbox/mBrain_Adam/mbrain/:/Users/me/Dropbox/mBrain_Adam/mbrain/venv/include/python2.7

WSGIProcessGroup localhost


 Alias /proyectos/ /PROYECTOS/


 

Require all granted




 WSGIScriptAlias / /Users/me/Dropbox/mBrain_Adam/mbrain/mbrain/wsgi.py


 



Require all granted









So to embed a media file in a template I have this as the url:

{{ MEDIA_URL }}{{ asset.assetPath }}


When I load the page in a browser the console shows the fully expanded path 
for the media asset but with a 404 error - HTTP/1.1" 404 3045.


I’d really appreciate any feedback on whether I am approaching this the 
right way or if I have completely missed the concept.

Also any help on that 404 error would be appreciated.


Cheers!


Adam
