Re: Difficulties deploying Satchmo store

You say "difficulties" and "fails" but you don't say what that means. Do you have a stack trace or an error message? I'm not much of an Apache user, but if I'm not mistaken the consensus there is that mod_wsgi is the best way to go. Therefore I would focus on that rather than mod_fcgi. I'm

Hello Dale -- I see you asked this question nearly two weeks ago, but for some reason your message was delivered to my inbox just today. Since your background is apache, I would stay there if I were you (and use mod_wsgi for your django apps). The only caveat is that I have no experience

Re: Does anyone know any blogs that write about how to quickly install and deploy a django application on Amazon EC2?

Having now looked more closely at the official deployment docs, I see they have been updated at some point to mention gunicorn and uwsgi, as well as nginx, cherokee, and lighttpd. So that's good. However, I also see that the deployment docs are a bit of a mess and could really use some love and

No offense to the author, but I would advise ignoring that blog for the following reasons: # author admits he is a non-sysadmin noob # he installs everything globally rather than using virtualenv # he uses apache instead of... well... anything else # there does not appear to be anything in

Re: Django E-Commerce Framework

I have firsthand experience implementing satchmo for a very large storefront, and I can heartily recommend it. People who recommend writing your own ecommerce platform have an overly romanticized perspective. In my opinion ecommerce is not where you want to make your own mistakes and go by trial

Re: will an empty middleware class consume any time (except during initial import?)

I'm not so sure, Tom. It took me a few minutes to deduce an answer from the page of code you linked. And I'm extremely clever! ;) At any rate, in the case of a middleware class consisting of just a pass statement, at startup load_middleware will find and validate the existence of the entry in
