Re: Copyright issues for an application developed using django, python and mySQL
Thank you very much for your explanations. From the above explanations, I can infer that I do not have to worry about any copyright or licensing issues. Please correct me if I am wrong. A little context may help here. Our company is a reseller. We sell computer products. I make mathematical models for our company. Our sales force already have CRM (Customer Relationship Management) typish thing to interact with the customers in driving business. This new toy, recommendation engine, can help them attaching more items to the current order. All I want to do is to help the sales force with this new recommendation system while they are interacting with customers over the phone. They are going type an internal web address, and enter a customer id in a search box on the webpage to get recommendations of numerous products to cross-sell and up-sell. We are not going to sell this application to anyone, as the underlying the data would be meaningless to others and no distribution involved here too. Thank you again.

Copyright issues for an application developed using django, python and mySQL
Hi, I made a small recommendation engine for our company using python, django, and mySQL. My supervisor and the senior management are worried about the copyright and licensing issues. They want to find out the details on how to go about start using it, like quoting python/django/ mySQL specifically on the bottom of the web page or some other thing. I would like our sales force to start using this new toy to recommend products to customers. They are going to type an intranet page in their browser, and enter the customer ID to get the product recommendations. How do I go about addressing the copyright and licensing issues? (I do not know if licensing is the right word here). Please advice.

Support for MS SQL Server
Hi, After doing some search on Google, Django has some kind of backend support for MS SQL server. But when I type ado_mssql in my setting.py file while creating a simple application, it says ad_mssql is not an avaliable option. Do I need any special patch or something to enable this?

Re: Django - Apache - mod_python setup
Karen: Thank you a million Karen. I changed the curly quotes to ordinary quotes and restarted Apache. It works fine. I was elated when I accessed the http://cobra.mycompany.com/petview and saw it working from another machine. This is my first toy with web application. Karen, thank you very much again. Is there way I can buy a beer for you? Or, please buy yourself a beer and please send me the bill. I will happy to pay for it. Or if you know another way, please let me know. Thank you again.

Re: Django - Apache - mod_python setup
Karen: I followed the instructions at http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/modpython/ . Here are the settings I added to the httpd.conf file: SetHandler python-program PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE petinfosite.settings PythonDebug On PythonPath “[‘C:/django/petinfosite’,‘C:/django/petinfosite/ petinfostore’]+sys.path” The project (settings.py) is in c:/django/petinfosite/ and the application (view.py) is in C:/django/petinfosite/petinfostore/. When I access http://cobra.mycompany.com/petview, I get a 404 with the following error: The requested URL /petview was not found on this server. When I access http://localhost:8000/petview/, it works fine. Please help.

Django - Apache - mod_python setup
Hi, I am very new to programming in general. I start to teach myself some python and django stuff. I followed the instructions in the chapter 3 of the book Professional Python Frameworks by Moore, Budd, and Wright. Just to give some idea, it is a simple pet owner site, select the owner and it displays their pets in the browser. It is working fine from a localhost, i.e. when I type http://127.0.0.1:8000/petview. Now I want to set it up on a local area network so that I can access it from other machine, for example, http://cobra.mycompany.com/petview. Here Cobra is the my machine name and mycompany.com is my company domain. I do not have access to tinker with mycompany.com. Cobra is a windows xp machine attached to the mycompany.com I installed postgresSQL and Apache and mod_python on the machine cobra. Apache is running OK by default. I ran http://cobra.mycompany.com from another machine, and it displays OK. But when I type http://cobra.mycompany.com/petview, I get a 404. I am sure that I am doing wrong. I want to learn how to set this kind of settings. Please advice. Thank you, Nagu --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
