As I am learning Django, I started writing the instructions (from the great tutorials) in a simplified form.
It became a bash script (which is really weird since I'm not a great bash programmer). I am including it in case it helps anyone or anyone has ideas on how to improve it: #!/bin/bash PROJECT_CONTAINER=/path/to/projects/home (/var/www or /Library/WebServer) PROJECT_NAME=myproject DB_ENGINE=mysql DB_NAME=$PROJECT_NAME DB_USER= DB_PASS= # Leave $DB_HOST blank if the server is on the local machine DB_HOST= cd $PROJECT_CONTAINER django-admin.py startproject $PROJECT_NAME cd $PROJECT_NAME #Create Database $DB_NAME mysqladmin create $DB_NAME #Modify settings.py mv "settings.py" "settings.old.py" OLDENGINE="DATABASE_ENGINE = ''" NEWENGINE="DATABASE_ENGINE = '$DB_ENGINE'" OLDNAME="DATABASE_NAME = ''" NEWNAME="DATABASE_NAME = '$DB_NAME'" OLDPASS="DATABASE_PASSWORD = ''" NEWPASS="DATABASE_PASSWORD = '$DB_PASS'" OLDUSER="DATABASE_USER = ''" NEWUSER="DATABASE_USER = '$DB_USER'" OLDHOST="DATABASE_HOST = ''" NEWHOST="DATABASE_HOST = '$DB_HOST'" sed -e "s/$OLDENGINE/$NEWENGINE/g" "settings.old.py" | \ sed -e "s/$OLDNAME/$NEWNAME/g" | \ sed -e "s/$OLDPASS/$NEWPASS/g" | \ sed -e "s/$OLDUSER/$NEWUSER/g" | \ sed -e "s/$OLDHOST/$NEWHOST/g" > "settings.py" rm "settings.old.py" #Add "django.contrib.admin" to the INSTALLED_APPS setting of settings.py # Do it manually? # Modify urls.py Uncomment the line that says "Uncomment for admin" mv "urls.py" "urls.old.py" OLD="# (r" NEW=" (r" sed -e "s/$OLD/$NEW/g" "urls.old.py" > "urls.py" rm "urls.old.py" #python2.4 manage.py syncdb #Now create apps using: #python2.4 manage.py startapp $APP_NAME #cd $APP_NAME #edit models.py --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
