TypeError: missing 1 required positional argument (word counter app)

[drone4four]

I’ve got a Python script which counts and prints the number of words in a 
text file. The script runs beautifully. It takes a public domain book (a 
text file such as Alice and Wonderland) which then counts the top 10 most 
used words (but which also filters out stopwords).  See here for some of my 
previous work: 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56436291/filtering-stop-words-out-of-a-large-text-file-using-package-nltk-corpus


Now I am trying to ‘port’ this Python shell script to Django. My intention 
for this project is to have the Django app count the number of words in a 
blog post. But for now I’m still using Alice and Wonderland in .txt format.


I’ve encountered some issues with my local dev server running but serving 
me a series of name errors involving my views module when I navigate to the 
url. I was hoping some of you could provide some insight.


When I run the server and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/seth/, this is 
the error showing in my web browser pointing to the issue at hand: 
https://pastebin.com/52x2c4iN


Here is the traceback from my local Django dev server in my shell: 
https://pastebin.com/a8PTcRki


The file with the most problems is my counters/views.py (current app only): 
https://github.com/Angeles4four/CC_Redact_Iter2/blob/v1.2/counters/views.py


I realize that the problem is with the way the text variable is tossed 
around. I probably should not be invoking global variables as I do at lines 
24, 38, 39 in my views model (above). Furthermore, out of the Udemy course

Novice questions about Pagination syntax and classes in general

[drone4four]

As part of the official Django doc on Pagination 
,
 
take a look at the listing function:

def listing(request):
contact_list = Contacts.objects.all()
paginator = Paginator(contact_list, 25) # Show 25 contacts per page


My two questions are:

   1. 
   
   Is it possible to return more than one value when a function is assigned 
   to a variable, like at line 3? 
   2. 
   
   At line 2, is `objects` a method within the Contacts class? If so, where 
   is the Contacts class defined? It’s not imported at the top of the example 
   views.py also in that Django doc above where I got this code sample.

Re: Django module view has no attribute?

[drone4four]

Thank you Lloyd:

You are right that my import statements are written inside my urls.py in 
such away that they override each other, confusing Django. I appreciate 
your advice, but with all due respect, a slightly more Pythonic approach 
would be this:

“””

from django.contrib import admin

from django.urls import path, re_path

# from . import views

from posts.views import *

from redactors.views import *

from counters.views import *

urlpatterns = [

 path('admin/', admin.site.urls),

 re_path('^$', home, name='home'),

 re_path('^result/', result, name='result'),

 re_path('^seth/', counters, name='seth'),

 re_path('^james/', posts, name='james'),

 re_path('^simon/', redactors, name='simon'),

]

“””

I find the re_path’s as they appear here to be more human readable than 
single alphabetical letters.

To explain with clarity, lines 4,5,6 import all functions from within the 
app directories and within each views.py package.  

Also, Django 2.0 now requires regex paths in url patterns to use the 
re_path() function as describe here: 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/urls/#re-path

My Django server now runs without reporting an issue at system check.

To answer your question, Joel: Yes, there is a function named posts inside 
views.py.

Django module view has no attribute?

[drone4four]

I’m taking a Udemy course by Nick Walter and rather than copying line by 
line, I’m trying to branch out and experiment on my own.  

The purpose of the website I am creating is for a small blog, with the 
ability to redact string input (in an HTML form) from the user. There is 
also a word counter for the body content of the blog.

I got Django running but as soon as I started adding the code I wrote, 
Django stopped running properly. 

Here is the traceback in full: https://pastebin.com/8HtdNwPP 

The main issue shows at the bottom:

File 
> "/home//dev/projects/python/2018-and-2019/CC_Redact_Iter2/CC_Redact_Iter2/urls.py",
>  
> line 28, in 
>* path('^james/', views.posts, name='james'),*
> *AttributeError: module 'counters.views' has no attribute 'posts’*



Based on this traceback, I gather I have probably misnamed a function or a 
file name or template but I can’t for the life of me figure which one or 
where. 

My entire source code repo can be found here: 
https://github.com/Angeles4four/CC_Redact_Iter2

Re: Separating remote vs local settings.py parameters - - “EMAIL”?

[drone4four]

So the remote server production email contact information could be 
different from the developer’s testcase email contact info?

I’ve taken a closer look at the “email-backend” section of the Django docs 
that you’ve linked to, Ahmed. I see Django supports email settings.  I 
don’t really understand what these EMAIL parameters would be used for. For 
example, EMAIL_BACKEND says:

Default: 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend 
> <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/email/#django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend>
> '
> The backend to use for sending emails. For the list of available backends 
> see Sending email <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/email/>.


I followed these two links and it is still not clear to me: Are these email 
settings only used if I implement SMTP or other email services? 

Would it be OK for me to just exclude altogether “EMAIL_*” until I reach a 
point when there is a need for an SMTP server (which will probably be never 
for the project I am working on)?

Separating remote vs local settings.py parameters - - “EMAIL”?

[drone4four]

If you take a look at this gist provided by a Udemy instructor and at this 
specific location 
,
 
here he wisely recommends separating important local development 
configuration parameters, such as SECRET _KEY. Of course everyone knows how 
stupid and foolish it would be to share the SECRET_KEY publicly on GitHub 
and then to use it in your production environment. 


So here is the list of parameters to place in the separate remote 
settings.py as it appears in that gist linked to above:


   - 
   
   SECRET_KEY
   - 
   
   ALLOWED_HOSTS
   - 
   
   DATABASES
   - 
   
   DEBUG
   - 
   
   EMAIL_*
   

If you look at the last one, it says: “EMAIL_*”. What do you people think 
the “_*” suffix? Is this standard for settings.py configurations? Or would 
you people think this is just a glaring typo on the side of the instructor?

rsync vs git for Django development? + Project directory location?

[drone4four]

Have two questions.

To manage development of a Django project, when interfacing local changes 
and mirroring them to my remote webserver, would you people recommend using 
rsync or git? I have a little experience with both. I've been using rsync 
to mirror basic HTML and CSS changes from my local host to my remote Apache 
public_html directory for a while now. I was thinking of using rsync for 
transferring changes to my webserver but in one of the courses I am taking, 
the instructor uses git and GitHub. I’m not sure if using git is overkill 
or not best practices. What would you people recommend?

Whether I go with git or rsync, I also need to make a decision about where 
to place my Django project folder on my VPS. One of the guides I am using, 
titled, “How To Set Up Django with Postgres, Nginx, and Gunicorn on Ubuntu 
18.04 
”
 
suggests putting it inside the user’s home folder. I gather this isn’t the 
most secure option. It’s also not a good idea to place the Django project 
folder inside the Apache public_html folder, am I right? I read both these 
things somewhere a while ago but I can’t recall exactly where. Anyways, to 
set the record straight, where would you people recommend I place my Django 
project folder on my VPS?

Re: Django credit card redaction app - - MultiValueDictKeyError

[drone4four]

Thank you Ahmed for this clarification. This makes sense.

I have two further questions for you (or anyone else still reading this 
thread):


   1. 
   
   Is there a way of checking for the presence of the data with GET which 
   is more Pythonic and aligns with better practices?
   


   1. 
   
   On an unrelated note, I attempted to reduce my issue in this testcase as 
   best I could. I think I did an OK job. But would there be a better way for 
   me to ask my question to attract more responses? What would any of you 
   recommend in terms of advice for me to refine and refine the way I ask 
   similar questions in the future on this message board?

Re: Django credit card redaction app - - MultiValueDictKeyError

[drone4four]

I’ve discovered a ‘hack’ to correct the issue. I committed and pushed my 
changes up to my GitHub repo for those curious enough to try it out 
yourself. 

My problem now is that I don’t really understand why it works. Here I will 
explain what I do know and then my ask would be for you people to fill in 
the gaps in my explanation.  First I share my working code. 

Here is my views.py which includes the relevant function I use:

from django.http import HttpResponse



from django.shortcuts import render


def home(request):

   if 'ccEntry' in request.GET:

   number = request.GET['ccEntry']

   redacted_num = '   {}'.format(number[-4:])

   return render(request, 'home.html', {'number':number, 'redacted_num':
redacted_num})

   else:

   return render(request, 'home.html')




Here is my lucid, cerebral explanation of the above Python code in plain 
English: At line 4 I am defining the `home` function. Then there is a 
conditional referring to the ‘ccEntry’ string inside the template. If 
ccEntry is present in the GET request, then a `number` variable is declared 
based on the user input on the web page. Then a `redacted_num` variable is 
declared which will appear as a string (‘   ’ with the last 4 
characters lopped off (the slice). If all of the above is in order, then 
the render function will be returned:

   - 
   
   with the standard request,
   - 
   
   with reference to the home.html template, 
   - 
   
   along with a dictionary with a ‘number’ string matching up with the 
   `number` variable. Ditto for the redact_num.
   
However if the above condition is false, then the render function will 
return the standard request and home.html template without a dictionary. 
That’s pretty much everything I understand.  

I’m not sure why a conditional as it appears above is necessary. 

Would someone here care to explain, if you can?

Re: Django credit card redaction app - - MultiValueDictKeyError

[drone4four]

I am taking a course on Udemy and the instructor doesn’t include a method 
attribute in the form tag.  But as you suggested, Deepak, I went ahead and 
added method="get" to my form tag in my home.html template. So line 7 now 
reads: 

I am still encountering the MultiValueDictKeyError. 

Here is the traceback again:

I looked up GET.get Django and found an SO post titled, “Django request.GET 
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3500859/django-request-get>” which has 
quite a few up votes. Based on that SO answer, In my views.py I changed the 
line (where I declare the number variable) from `number = 
request.GET['ccEntry']` to `number = request.GET.get['ccEntry', None]`  

That gives a different error (a type error this time): 
https://pastebin.com/L81LVtzi 

You also mentioned my front end. I had included the template in my original 
post. I have since refined it so it is more readable. Here is my improved 
home.html template:







  Search 



  





 

   Enter your fake Chuckee Cheese Neptune credit card number!

   

  Must be a 16 digit number. 

   

 



   Original Card Number:

   {{ number }}

   Redacted Card Number:

   {{ redacted_num }}

Did this work?   









Sam, you also suggested:

I did explicitly include my data in my form element as you can see in the 
above template.


Check the URL and log the get object in Django to make sure the data is 
> actually appearing in both.


The data is present as “ccEntry” in both home.html and in views.py.

Django credit card redaction app - - MultiValueDictKeyError

[drone4four]

Hello!

I’m trying to run a basic Django app which redacts a 16 digit number 
entered by the user. I had a it running a few minutes ago. I’m not sure 
what I changed, but now I am getting a MultiValueDictKeyError. I’ve triple 
checked every variable. The only dictionary in my project is in views.py at 
line 7. As far as I can tell, it’s all accurate and positioned correctly. I 
don’t recall changing this dictionary or any other operator around this 
line. I’m stumped. What would you people suggest? Have a look at my setup.


*Here is the error and traceback in full:* https://pastebin.com/QwSrmAJx 

Here is my urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import  include, url



from django.contrib import admin

from django.urls import path

from . import views


urlpatterns = [

   url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),

   url(r'^$', views.home, name='home'),



views.py:
from django.http import HttpResponse



from django.shortcuts import render


def home(request):

   number = request.GET['ccEntry']

   redacted_num = '   {}'.format(number[-4:])

   return render(request, 'home.html', {'number':number, 'redacted_num':
redacted_num})



home.html template:









 

   Enter your fake Chuckee Cheese Neptune credit card number!

   

 

 

 

   Must be a 16 digit number.

 

 

   

   

   

   

   Original Card Number:

   

   {{ number }}

   

   Redacted Card Number:

   

   {{ redacted_num }}

   

Did this work?

Re: Trouble deploying Django/wagtail on Ubuntu 14.04

[drone4four]

Thank you for your reply, Tom.


Here it is running as intended: https://daniel496.agency/


Inside the TEMPLATES variable, the line for ‘DIRS’ now a list which now 
reads: [PROJECT_ROOT + '/bakerydemo/templates']

'DIRS': [PROJECT_ROOT + '/bakerydemo/templates'],



M project root directory is /home/tranq/bakerydemo and the addition symbol 
binds the subsequent string together to create a new string as it is read 
by the interpreter: '/home//bakerydemo/bakerydemo/templates'

I also had to toy around a bit with group and ownership permissions.  Here 
are the winning commands I used in the end:

$ chmod 775 /home/tranq/bakerydemo
> $ chown :www-data /home/tranq/bakerydemo
> $ chmod 775 /home/tranq/bakerydemo/bakerydemodb
> $ chown :www-data /home/tranq/bakerydemo/bakerydemodb
> $ chown -R :www-data /home/tranq/bakerydemo/bakerydemo/media

 

I had this demo running perfectly weeks ago. I meant to report back here 
like this sooner. Sorry.  Better late than never?

Thanks again.

Re: Trouble deploying Django/wagtail on Ubuntu 14.04

[drone4four]

Thank you, Andreas.  I added the python-path to my Apache ssl.conf and the 
Internal Server Error is gone now. It appears WSGI is serving my Django 
project perfectly. 

I adjusted ALLOWED_HOSTS just fine. But now Django is saying something 
about "TemplateDoesNotExist at /" in base/home_page.html.  You can see the 
full Django traceback here: https://daniel496.agency/ 

$ locate home_page.html
/home//.virtualenvs/wagtailbakerydemo/lib/python3.4/site-packages/wagtail/project_template/home/templates/home/home_page.html
/home//bakerydemo/bakerydemo/templates/base/home_page.html

The home_page.html file is present but apparently it is not being referred 
to properly in my configuration.  Can anyone shed some light on what the 
issue could be now?

Thanks.

Trouble deploying Django/wagtail on Ubuntu 14.04

[drone4four]

I successfully installed wagtail ’s bakery demo site 
 locally.  I 
ended up leveraging the README for this bakery demo site 
 on their GitHub page which calls to 
use a ‘virtualenvwrapper 
’ instead of a 
typical venv.  As instructed I played around with some configuration files. 
I got it working. Here is a .webm video 
 showcasing my site 
running locally.  

But when I attempt to deploy it on my DigitalOcean Droplet, Apache is 
throwing all sorts of errors.  The problem is with my configuration. I am 
not sure what I have to change to make it right. 

Here is my site showing an Apache Internal Server 
Error: https://daniel496.agency/ 

Here  are the most recent lines of traceback 
from my Apache log file. That log file is pointing me in a few directions. 
I ensure that my Apache sites-available file points to wsgi.py inside the 
bakerydemo project folder.  I tried both wsgi.py and production_wsgi.py.

Here are the contents of my ssl Apache sites-available ssl config:

Take note the project called, TheGreatWork.  That is a previous project 
I've temporarily set aside.  I invoked a multi-line block comment in this 
Apache starting with  and ending with 


As part of setting up virtualenvwrapper, I’ve assigned my virtual 
environments to: /home//.virtualenvs, which appears to be an issue in 
the error log as well, so maybe this could be the problem with my setup?

I’ve ruled out the possibility that the issue has something to do with the 
Python version 2.7-based libapache2-mod-wsgi because I purged my system of 
that library. All that exists now is libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3.

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 on my Droplet, running Python 3.4 and Django 2.0.

Is there any other information I could provide to help troubleshoot?

Thanks for your attention.

Trouble deploying Django (project folder, wsgi.py and libapache2-mod-wsgi)

[drone4four]

I’m having some issues deploying Django.


Here is my site: https://daniel496.agency/ 


I’m running a Digital Ocean Droplet with Ubuntu 14.04 and Python v3.4 with 
Django 2.0.2 installed.


In this post first I share what errors I am encountering, then what I think 
is the issue is and then what I’ve tried to resolve the issue.  At the end 
of this post are my configuration files like ssl.conf and wsgi.py.


Before I begin, I think the issue might involve the naming of my project 
folders. My project folder on my local machine is named: 
`first_project_attempt`.  But on my remote server, the project folder is 
named, `cel2fah`. I copied the contents locally to my remote host and now 
trying to iron out the issues.


Here I go.  If you access my site linked to above, right now it is showing:


Internal Server Error
> The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was 
> unable to complete your request.
> Please contact the server administrator at @gmail.com to inform them 
> of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before 
> this error.
> More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
> Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at daniel496.agency Port 443


Here are the last ~50 lines of my apache error log file: 
https://pastebin.com/UPsTmf28 


I’m thinking that there could be a potential conflict between 
libapache2-mod-wsgi and libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3.  I encountered a similar 
issue a few weeks ago. There are apparently still traces of 
libapache2-mod-wsgi (for Python 2.7) still flagged as active on my system 
given that $ sudo dpkg -s libapache2-mod-wsgi prints:

However when I go to remove it, it says it’s not installed:

More to the point, when invoking this as root:


apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_MODULES


...it lists what modules apache2 has loaded. And libapache2-mod-wsgi (for 
Python version 2) is included.  So I Google ‘how to remove apache modules’ 
which turns up this SO post: 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9288865/how-can-i-uninstall-an-apache2-module

So I set out to rename my libapache2-mod-wsgi.so (for Python version 2) 
from my apache2 modules directory inside /usr/lib. I see a symlink 
mod_wsgi.so which refers to mod_wsgi.so-3.4:


@:/usr/lib/apache2/modules$ ls -la mod_wsgi*
> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Nov 18 2014 mod_wsgi.so -> mod_wsgi.so-3.4
> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 174448 Nov 18  2014 mod_wsgi.so-3.4
> @:/usr/lib/apache2/modules$ 


So is my Apache serving the libapache2-mod-wsgi module for python2 or just 
for python3 or what?


What else can you people determine could be the issue here?


Here is my wsgi.py:

> """

application = get_wsgi_application()

And my ssl.conf:

Re: Question about dot notation syntax (Django source)

[drone4four]

Hi Andreas!

Thank you for your reply.

You said:


The dot notation (as you call it) references a class that you can find if 
> you look in the django package, under folder contrib, folder auth, file 
> password_validation.py you will find a class class 
> UserAttributeSimilarityValidator. See the "dots" as directories / files 
> (they are modules).


So when a Django script (settings.py for example) is called and the 
libraries are imported at the top of the script (or in my example above, 
when the `AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS` variable is declared) it looks inside 
`site-packages` (inside my virtual environment) for the `django` directory, 
then for the `auth` directory which contains the `password_validation.py` 
module. settings.py refers to four classes inside the password_validation 
script:

   - 
   
   UserAttributeSimilarityValidator
   - 
   
   MinimumLengthValidator
   - 
   
   CommonPasswordValidaor
   - 
   
   NumericPasswordValidator
   

Therefore, and more to your point, Andreas: The 
`django.contrib.auth.password_validation.UserAttributeSimilarityValidator` 
pattern here translated into pseudocode might reflect this: 
`DjangoDirectory.ContribDirectory.AuthDirectory.ThisModule.ThisClass`. 

This structure applies also when a programmer imports his or her functions 
at the top of any Python script.  To distinguish references to directories, 
modules, and classes in an import statement, the programmer just has to 
know their filesystem and their code, right?

Andreas: I meant to follow up here sooner.  Sorry for the delay.  Here it 
is.

Question about dot notation syntax (Django source)

[drone4four]

In, “Password management in Django 
”,
 
it explains that this particular doc is for advanced users, like Django 
admins who need to choose different hashing algorithms.  So it’s not really 
necessary for a beginner user like me to understand.  From the doc:

...depending on your requirements, you may choose a different algorithm, or 
> even use a custom algorithm to match your specific security situation. 
> Again, most users shouldn’t need to do this – if you’re not sure, you 
> probably don’t. If you do, please read on...


I don’t. So I don’t need to continue reading. 

But I do have some questions about dot notation in general as some code 
appears in settings.py. Lines 87 - 100 in this file appear as follows:

AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS = [
{
'NAME': 
'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.UserAttributeSimilarityValidator',
},

{
'NAME': 
'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.MinimumLengthValidator',
},

{
'NAME': 
'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.CommonPasswordValidator',
},

{
'NAME': 
'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.NumericPasswordValidator',
},
]



Can someone please identify the first item in this list?  I understand that 
all the items in this list are dictionaries.  The first dictionary is 
named, ‘NAME’.  The key involves libraries, functions, variables, class 
names and more functions.  Which is which? Is `django` the library? What is 
`contrib`? Is this a function name or a class name?  If `contrib` is a 
function name or class name, where is it located in my venv or Django 
project folder? 

What does each word in the dictionary mean or refer to?  Can some one 
please explain the syntax?

Thanks for your attention.

Re: Trying to deploy Django 2.0.2 (DigitalOcean)

[drone4four]

Yes I know, *sacrac*. My venv was configured with Python 3.4 and pip3 
pulled Django 2.0.1 beautifully from the start.

I resolved my issue. The problem was with my Apache mod_wsgi version was 
with python 2.  I found and installed libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3. Now my site 
runs perfectly.

Trying to deploy Django 2.0.2 (DigitalOcean)

[drone4four]

I am struggling deploying Django 2.0.2 on my DigitalOcean Droplet (Ubuntu 
14.04) with Apache mod_wsgi.

I’ve followed this guide 

 
closely. That guide focuses on setting up Django for delivery through port 
80 (http).  I’m trying to establish a port 443 connection (https) and ssl 
so I am using this guide 

.

When I navigate to my site, www.daniel496.agency , it basically times out 
after a minute or two and resolves to this error message:

Internal Server Error

Re: Deploying SSL for my Django 2.0.1 server with Apache on Ubuntu 16.04 (droplet)

[drone4four]

The username on my droplet is ‘tranq’ but there is a line in both my vhost 
config files which reads:



So I swapped out ‘user’ for ‘tranq’. That line now reads:



Now some of my static files are accessible.  For example you can see here:

https://www.angeles4four.info/static/admin/css/responsive.css

https://www.angeles4four.info/static/admin/css/login.css

But the following is still saying, “Forbidden”: 

https://www.angeles4four.info/static/admin/ 

This may be pointing to an issue I noticed with how my user and group 
permissions are set up for Django.  The sqlite.db file was grouped in with 
‘tranq’. According to the guide I’ve been using, it should be: ‘www-data’. 
 I’m not sure how I overlooked this mistake because I very clearly remember 
doing it properly.  I think I’m conflating this with one of my multiple 
recent previous attempts following this guide. Anyways, here is what my 
group permissions look like now from within my project directory:

$ ls -la

total 68

drwxrwxr-x  5 tranq www-data  4096 Jan 25 23:12 .

drwxr-xr-x 18 tranq tranq 4096 Jan 26 21:57 ..

drwxrwxr-x  3 tranq tranq 4096 Jan 25 23:13 cel2fah

-rw-rw-r--  1 tranq www-data 38912 Jan 25 23:11 db.sqlite3

-rwxrwxr-x  1 tranq tranq  539 Jan 25 23:05 manage.py

drwxrwxr-x  3 tranq tranq 4096 Jan 25 23:12 static

drwxrwxr-x  5 tranq tranq 4096 Jan 25 23:04 venv

Notice sqlite.db above? It now says ‘www-data’.  This is how it should be, 
right?

The parent directory (home user folder) shows these permissions for my 
project:

...

drwxrwxr-x  5 tranq www-data  4096 Jan 25 23:12 cel2fah

Does this look right to all of you?

The steps I took to arrange the permissions as such were from the bottom of 
the mod_wsgi guide on DigitalOcean 
<https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t=j==s=web=3=0ahUKEwjJ_d_P0OfYAhVlxoMKHZlBBkEQFgg0MAI=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalocean.com%2Fcommunity%2Ftutorials%2Fhow-to-serve-django-applications-with-apache-and-mod_wsgi-on-ubuntu-14-04=AOvVaw2wt2StyReKq9zmPyQnkrO7>
 
which I referred to initially.

Thanks for your attention.

Re: Deploying SSL for my Django 2.0.1 server with Apache on Ubuntu 16.04 (droplet)

[drone4four]

You’re right, @Antonis, that I don’t want my Django source code exposed. No 
sysadmin would.  I have since moved my Django project folder to my home 
user’s directory. However (out of curiosity), if I continued to house 
Django in my public_html folder (which I am not any more, but say if i did) 
I would think that my .htaccess config file would prevent unauthorized 
access to my Django source.  Am I right?

I didn’t realize that Django was suppose to be run using wsgi.  I was just 
foolishly running the server with ``$ python manage.py runserver 
0.0.0.0:8000`` like when I was testing locally when I was coding my app. 
The keyword here is mod_wsgi.  So I found this guide 
<https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-serve-django-applications-with-apache-and-mod_wsgi-on-ubuntu-14-04>.
 
I followed along but the issue I now have is that Apache serves my 
public_html folder (just some light  HTML, CSS and Js).  Serving these 
contents take priority over Django.  I’m OK with this. I would prefer to 
keep my public_html folder accessible as it is, but how do I arrange for 
wsgi to serve Django from a subdirectory, say: www.angeles4four.info/cel2fah 
or something like that? 

@Mulianto:

An example of a static file would be a style sheet, like: 
~/cel2fah/static/admin/css/responsive.css

How would trying to access this CSS file help?

I tried: 

http://www.angeles4four.info:8000/cel2fah/static/admin/css/responsive.css 

https://www.angeles4four.info:8000/cel2fah/static/admin/css/responsive.css 
<http://www.angeles4four.info:8000/cel2fah/static/admin/css/responsive.css> 

Both show “This site can’t be reached”

Deploying SSL for my Django 2.0.1 server with Apache on Ubuntu 16.04 (droplet)

[drone4four]

I’ve played with a little Django (v2.0.1) locally. Now I am trying to 
implement a test case on my production Apache web server. I’m running an 
Ubuntu 14.04 DigitalOcean droplet (will upgrade to 18.04 later this year).

I got Django running.

Here it is: http://www.angeles4four.info:8000/

Before I log into my admin panel, I figure it’s best practices to set up 
HTTPS first. But when I visit that URL, Chrome throws this message:


This site can’t provide a secure connection http://www.angeles4four.info 
> sent an invalid response. ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR


And my shell on my server shows this message:

[20/Jan/2018 23:54:39] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 16559 [21/Jan/2018 00:01:23]

That’s because SSL isn’t set up. My current SSL Certificate Authority is 
Let’s Encrypt. SSL is running properly for my public_html content but not 
for my recent deployment of Django.

I found some resources elsewhere on SO for setting up SSL with Django.

In an SO post titled, “Configure SSL Certificate on Apache for Django 
Application (mod_wsgi)”, a highly upvoted answer by Alexey Kuleshevich 
suggests a template for 000-default.conf and default-ssl.conf for Apache 
vhosts. See here: Configure SSL Certificate on Apache for Django 
Application (mod_wsgi) 


I did my best to change up the suggested values and entries so that they 
refer to my specific configuration. Here are what these two vhost

No dice. I still get the same traceback as I initially shared.

The next SO post I came across suggests modifying settings.py. Here it is: 
Error 
"You're accessing the development server over HTTPS, but it only supports 
HTTP" 


The upvoted suggestion here by YoYo is to modify session cookies and secure 
SSL redirect. YoYo also recommends managing base, local, production 
settings which doesn’t really apply to me. So I tried adding these three 
lines to my settings.py:


SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE = True
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE = True
SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT = True


My python3 manage.py runserver shell traceback still says: *“You're 
accessing the development server over HTTPS, but it only supports HTTP.”*

Any ideas? What else could I try?

Thanks for your attention.

Re: Django field model for HTML parser?

[drone4four]

Thank you Mike for the help. I'll look into bleaching my HTML.  Great doc.

So it's easy but not recommended to enable all HTML.  I've got alotta 
custom legacy  code with dividers and elements with classes and such which 
I intend on trying to port over into Django.  Would enabling these aspects 
to me HTML pose as a security risk?  

More about the security: I know JavaScript can be prone to errors and 
security risks, but HTML?  Hypothetically speaking, how might allowing all 
HTML by bleaching my code with this plugin be risky?

Re: Django field model for HTML parser?

[drone4four]

Hi fellow Djangoistas: 

I'm back.  

Thank you Atonis for your help.  I suppose I can leave the WYSIWYG editor 
static files for later when I have alittle more experience.  For now 
though: how can I enable HTML markup to parse like it should?  The box 
where users on my Django website make a blog post, they can attach images, 
apply a timestamp but the content is just plain text.  How do I make it so 
that when I user for example enters this:

Lorem Ipsum
Hello and welcome to my first blog post

...that it posts and parses not as plain text but with the heading showing 
with a slightly larger font size than the rest and the first sentence is 
bolded?

Thanks again.

Re: Django field model for HTML parser?

[drone4four]

The official Django docs specify that STATIC_ROOT is indicated in 
settings.py at the STATIC_URL variable (which is near the bottom).  The 
official Django docs says:


Configure your web server to serve the files in STATIC_ROOT 
> <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/settings/#std:setting-STATIC_ROOT>
>  
> under the URL STATIC_URL 
> <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/settings/#std:setting-STATIC_URL>.
>  
>  

(link 
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/howto/static-files/deployment/>)

I’m not running Apache. My Django serving is running locally. The absolute 
path in my file tree to my Django root directory is:

/home/gnull/Dropbox/TECH/python/2017/django-experiment-with-nick/dobbs_portal_blog/

Inside dobbs_portal_blog is where I placed the static folder. Therefore, 
the line in my settings.py where I declare the variable, I changed from the 
default:


*STATIC_URL = '/static/'* 

to: 


*STATIC_URL = 
'/home/gnull/Dropbox/TECH/python/2017/django-experiment-with-nick/dobbs_portal_blog/static/'*


That is my best guess at attempting resolve the “pretty obvious” error 
message:


You're using the staticfiles app without having set the STATIC_ROOT setting 
> to a filesystem path.


Yet I am still doing something wrong because invoking python3 
dobbs_portal_blog/manage.py collectstatic, I still get the same message:

Re: Django field model for HTML parser?

[drone4four]

Thank you, Jason.  The WYSIWYG editor like ckeditor is precisely what I am 
looking for.  

I have set out to run ckeditor.  I am following along with the instructions 
on how to install it 
<https://django-ckeditor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#installation>.

Inside my virtual environment I invoke pip install django-ckeditor.

Then I add ckeditor to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

But then my shell is telling me that I have improperly configured static 
root in the files app even though my settings.py does include a line: 
STATIC_URL = '/static/'


The installation doc linked to above does refer to the official Django doc 
on how to manage static files 
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/>, which I find 
to be helpful but isn’t really very applicable to my particular situation 
because I do not have any image files that I am working with in my case at 
this point.

When I run python3 dobbs_portal_blog/manage.py collectstatic, I get this 
error:

$ python3 dobbs_portal_blog/manage.py collectstatic

You have requested to collect static files at the destination

location as specified in your settings.

This will overwrite existing files!

Are you sure you want to do this?

Type 'yes' to continue, or 'no' to cancel: yes

Re: Django field model for HTML parser?

[drone4four]

I didn’t do a very good job explaining.  Let me try again.

If you take a look at this image of Blogger, the red arrow points to the 
formatting bar <https://imgur.com/LpksoNE>.  The formatting is a helpful 
feature in Blogger which allows blog posters to add an essay worth of 
content, and then alter the appearance of the Lorem Ipsum essay content 
with bold, italics, underline and a few dozen other buttons and options.

Then when you click the HTML button <https://imgur.com/4SD6abe> in the 
Blogger dashboard, it shows you the same Lorem Ipsum content, but just the 
raw HTML source.

My Django admin panel when creating a new blog post just accepts plain 
text.  No HTML markup formatting.  Here is a pic of my Django dashboard with 
a red arrow pointing to where I am hoping to add an HTML formatting bar 
<https://imgur.com/Pkcva1s>. Or does Django not have an HTML formatting 
menu feature helping blog contributors to format their content?  I can’t 
find it in the model field type / option doc that I linked to in my 
original post.

Thank you.

Re: Django debug of templates and home.html

[drone4four]

Hello Amitesh.  Thank you for your reply.

The contents of my apps.py reads:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from __future__ import unicode_literals
from django.apps import AppConfig


class BlogitemsConfig(AppConfig):
name = 'blogitems'

There is no instance of 'BlogitemsConfig' or 'AppConfig' inside 
settings.py. Could that be my issue?  

Here is some sample HTML that I am trying to experiment with:

...at Dundas Square in Toronto.  Here is my report:

Django field model for HTML parser?

[drone4four]

The contents of my models.py looks like this:

from django.db import models


# Create your models here.
class Post(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=256)
pub_date = models.DateTimeField()
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='media/')
body = models.TextField()


def __str__(self):
return self.title


def pub_date_pretty(self):
return self.pub_date.strftime('%A %d %B %Y @ %-I:%M:%S %p')


def summary(self):
return self.body[:350]

Lines 5 through 8 initiate the model class variables for my blog dashboard. 
My dashboard looks like this . There is a title, 
pub date, image and body. The Udemy instructor suggests consulting the 
official Django doc for field types/options 
. I’m not sure I 
really understand most of it. There is just so much information there. My 
question for all of you: Which field option or field type initiates an HTML 
parser for body text? I mean, when I go to to create a new blog post, how 
do I create rich text with HTML formatting buttons like bold, underline and 
italics? It’s not really the buttons I care about. I just want my HTML tags 
to parse. Take note of the HTML tags I’ve circled in red here 
. How do I get the h5, hr and em to parse? Is 
there a field option/type for this? I don’t see it in the models fields doc.

Thanks for your attention.

Django debug of templates and home.html

[drone4four]

I am having fun trying to initiate a django project with some apps. I am 
taking an awesome course on udemy called, The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to 
Django. I was able to follow along and I have a basic blog up and running. 
Now I am back tracking a little by starting over, this time using a 
supplementary Django cheat sheet. I encountered a number of issues and 
resolved them but now I find myself stuck. 

When I try navigating to my new homepage, Django provides me with this 
debug traceback . Django is telling me here 
that the templates directory doesn’t exist, when it clearly does. Here is a 
screenshot of Atom  so you can see my project’s 
file tree. As you can see my directory tree for my project, there is an 
folder which is called, blogitems. and within the blogitems folder is a 
sub-folder called, templates, then blogitems again and finally my file, 
home.html

It’s rather confusing. I don’t like the redundancy and the recursive nature 
of all the app files and directory names. Maybe this is my problem. Can any 
of your make sense of my debug output to explain why I am getting the 
error? Can anyone please provide some clarity here?

Here is the cheat sheet:

It's this last step where I encounter the error. 

Here are the contents of urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import url
from django.contrib import admin
from blogitems import views

urlpatterns = [
#initialization admin interface:
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r’^$’, views.home, name=‘home’),
]



I added the app into the settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'blogitems',
]

Is there any other information I could provide?

Thanks for your attention.

Setting up Django for the first time, urls.py and settings.py

[drone4four]

I’m playing with Django for the first time.  I am using a guide called, “Python 
from Scratch - Creating a Dynamic Website 
”  by [b]Tuts+ Code[/b] from 
YouTube.  It’s kinda old.  It was first posted in November 2011 and Django 
has evolved considerably.  I’ve had to try different commands, like 
‘syncdb’ is no longer used.  Now it’s ‘migrate’. Yes, Tuts+ Code is over 6 
years old, but it’s the best tutorial in terms of explanations and teaching 
style. Anyways.

I’m getting an error saying there is something wrong with my settings.py:

Those last couple of lines in this error message are instructive. I’m not 
sure about the case of include() in urls.py but my url declaration indeed 
is a tuple.  Why is my shell telling me there is something wrong with my 
tuple when it should be a tuple?  I also swapped out the parentheses with 
square brackets to see if it would take a list as it says it can.  Either 
way, same error.

Here are the contents of my urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import *
> from django.contrib import admin
> admin.autodiscover()
> urlpatterns = ['',
> # url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
> url(r'^$', 'blog.views.home', name='home')
> ]


Take note of the square brackets and lack of the patterns function (as 
compared to the presence of the function in the code from the teacher 
below). Also commented out above is the default urlpattern that came with 
Django 1.11.  

So the urlpattern in Tuts+ Code’s actually looks like this:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
> from django.contrib import admin
> urlpatterns = patterns (‘’,
> url(r'^$', ‘FirstBlog.views.home’, name='home'),
> )


Addressing a related issue with importing the name pattern in urls.py for 
Django, some folks over on stackoverflow describe their Djanog urls.py 
 
configuration file use a simple variable declaration for urlpatterns and 
don’t bother with the function patterns() the way the YouTuber explains 
that it should look like.  Like, the YouTuber uses: ‘*urlpatterns = 
patterns( ... )*’ whereas the stackoverflow people set it as: ‘*urlpatterns 
= [ ‘’, ...]'*.  

I get the sense that I am slightly off in my understanding of the issue.
