2009-04-07 Thread Ray Malone

Does the app actually have back end dynamic code or is the whole thing
css and html?  If so, I would start from scratch and download the sdk
and run it as it describes.  I built many apps using ASP and one using
PHP over the last 10 years.  I picked up the environment quickly.  I
don't use the patch, it's way to complicated.  I've built several apps
on App Engine now and find it easy to use besides the fun limits.  App
Engine lets you create a static directory for all files.  I would
place the HTML and CSS into this directory and start from scratch with
a new project.

If you will stop trying to shortcut the process,, try just getting the
sdk running with the supplied tutorial,, the environment is very
unlike the "normal" one shortcuts don't work. The whole model is
different, and the same applies to uploading a modified site...again
look at my stuff I think I'm just a bit ahead..!! not much but at
least have one app up and running at http://tombrander.appspot.com The
basic tutorial of how I did it is on the wordpress site.

2009-04-07 Thread Aaron

ya that is where I am at right now.   I am trying to get my computer
to a point where I can then focus on getting the site uploaded.

I am having problems getting the scripts that the previous coder made
and also getting manage.py to see or find SDK of  google app engine.

I asked the ceo to ask the old programmer about what he meant about
path stuff.

So currently I followed his directions and put manage.py in the app
folder but when I ran it in terminal I get a Cannot find SDK  error.

I mean it's frustrating. I spent about 3 weeks and I am only getting
75 bucks for this. It took up alot of my time just to download the kit
and install it.

and do that Django package installation. and other packages. Now after
doing that. I took a look at the website files given to me from the
previous programmer.

I am struggling on getting the development area to have no errors so I
can focus on the coding part. I have some experience with python and
do know the lango.

That's not the problem. I just have to look at how the pervious
programmer stored data. I don't have problems with doing the changes
to the site and uploading it.

I am doing this will going to college full time so I am stressed out.
The ceo even calls me at times at midnight asking how far I am on the
project.

He told me he is getting concern about the project.

At the start of the job I was never told I had to use google apps that
was unstil I was done with the website addons coded in css and html on
my server.

I then thought he had a hosting services where I just use a panel to
upload the files. Yet I was wrong he tells me he uses google servers.
I then was like what?

I never knew google does that. I never heard anything about that. I
ask him if he was sure it's google.  He said he was pretty sure.

So I thought that google must have it and would provide a upload
cpanel to load in the scripts.

So I ask for the login and stuff and he made an account and then
contacted the old program to get guided on what to do to make my
account.

Then he told me I had to download google apps engine. I then knew that
this must be something big. I was thinking in my head why would a
hosting serivce provider need to give a engine out.

So then he told me out flat that I need to know python and know how to
use google apps engine. I told I know python but never done anything
heavy with it.

I never used google apps and don't know where to go.

So he said don't worry if you have questions I can ask the old
programmer.

So this is where we are at. Usally when I ask the ceo to ask something
to the old programmer this takes time to get a reply.

Cause the old programmer isn't working at this company anymore and I
am sure he looks at his e-mail later on in the day.

So this going back and forth is costing me time and the ceo is getting
impatient.

from what I know. I don't have to code anything heavily. I just have
to make modifications and that is it.

yet still have that error where manage.py dosen't find the SDK of
google apps even though google apps is installed on my system.

So looks like the manage.py dosen't know where google apps is located
for some reason.

I don't know if I have to add  a path on manage.py to point to where
the python script of the SDK is located at?

It is not easy.. 1st you need to get your machine set to use the
Google App engine SDK and development server... I put my experience
with that here http://tombrander.wordpress.com... then you need to get
your current version of the app running there... from other messages I
see you have left it seems that you have problems at that point...so
get those solved... If you don't have a useful development environment
your going to have a long road.. I've found Eclipse with Pydev to be
very helpful but it too has a learning curve.

I'm currently struggling with Google App engine patch and Django
examples but the above steps are how I got that far. FWIW, Finding the
files for modifying code within Django is not very easy and my guess
id that if you are using the app-engine patch you probably got Django
as well,, so looking at that doccumentation might help...

Good luck, you may have bitten off too much ??

As I said I'm still struggling... but keeping at it as there seems to

[google-appengine] Re: Noobie with google app engine. Need some help.

2009-04-07 Thread Aaron

I don't think  he means updating.

I was given the website application files. I need to modify and also
import my html and css code into this folder on my computer.

The problem is when manage.py is in that app folder and when I run it
in terminal I get a error sayin g can't find SDK.

yet when I move that manage.py file to the google app engine folder It
finds the SDK  and runs fine well I get also a error saying module
contact is missing.

So I told the programmer that problem. He told me it needs to stay in
that app folder.

Then to fix the cannot find SDK error I have to use that path stuff.

I wasn't sure if  he means  to add that as code to manage.py  or to
type that in the terminal.

Or if it was a example of where the path should be.

I am not totally sure.   I just have to figure this all out quickly.
The ceo is very ticked off and really wants it done really soon.

He is now asking me when I will be done with making my changes to the
site. He already got another project for me.

I am not making big bucks but I need some experience on my resume
because alot of jobs turned me down because I didn't have industry
experience.

So this is the only reason I am doing this. I am just getting paid 75
bucks for the first modifications.

So I really do need a faster way to understand how to use google
engine.

I have experience in html, css, php, apache, mysql, microsoft access.
I do have experience with python.

I don't hever experience with google apps engine. I am not even well
experienced with python to work on big software apps.

So if you do know php and what I basicly know. I would like someone to
explain it in terms what I know saying for like php mysql

you would use code like this for python/google apps etc.

I wish I had more time where I can look at the guides and take my time
learning and experiencing google apps but I don't.

the ceo knows I don't have experience with google.

I am also the only one doing it cheap for him. Others asked him for
1,500 bucks.

SO currently I am stressing out. He wants me to say a deadline but yet
I can't really say when I will be finished unless I have control and
understand the structure of the google app engine so I would know what
to do and work on it quickly.

Last night I didn't get to go to bed cause while I am trying to learn
this stuff I was also studying for exams for college classes and also
had to do a tax problem.

So I  hope you understand my stress level. I wish I had more time but
I don't I normally don't ask alot of questions but since I have
limited time I need to know what links I would need so I don't waste
any time looking at something that I wouldn't need at all to learn.

[google-appengine] Re: Noobie with google app engine. Need some help.

2009-04-07 Thread Ray Malone

Take a look at the documentation for uploading an app here
http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/uploadinganapp.html

However, I think you are using the app engine patch and may need this
instead.  http://code.google.com/p/app-engine-patch/wiki/GettingStarted

I don't use the path and don't have experience setting it up, but this
should help.
