Hello:

I've installed Django 1.0 on Ubuntu and am trying to get it to run on
Apache. Apache is installed, working fine, with mod-python also in
place. I'm new at everything Linux.

But when I try to run my app (a test blog), Apache gives an
ImportError message (below) I have come across NUMEROUS references to
this error message, and the solution usually seems to involve changing
the Python Path. But nothing I try seems to work. I've tried using /
user/local for a path, /var/www; the path to my app. Nothing works.
Any suggestions?

I guess u need to set python path to mysite plus django folders

In httpd.conf:

<Location "/mysite">
    SetHandler python-program
    PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
    SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE settings
    PythonDebug On
    PythonPath "['path to mysite', 'path to django'] + sys.path"
</Location>

Thanks. That's one of the about 50 variables I have tried with the path settings ... still no luck.

try above but change /mysite to /mysite/ and settings to mysite/settings

One thing I noticed in my windows and sun solaris is that, there is no
trailing slash in python paths. When I added trailing slash, apache
showed error. So you might as well try removing trailing slash in
python paths.

just put this line in (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default)

        <Location "/mysite/">
                SetHandler python-program
                PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
                SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings
                PythonInterpreter  mysite
                PythonDebug On
                PythonPath "['path to django','path to mysite'] +
sys.path"
        </Location>

It should work fine.

Hello!

I want to use translation in Django forms (and ModelForms), but the only solution I've found is using the 'label' attribute in the form fields
('from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _' is omitted):

forms.py:
class MyForm(ModelForm):
    name = forms.CharField(label=_('Name'))
    description = forms.CharField(label=_("Description"))
    class Meta:
        model  = models.MyModel
        fields = ('name', 'description')

models.py:
class MyModel (models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50,verbose_name=_("Name"))
    description = models.CharField(max_length=200,              verbose_name=_("Description"))

In ticket #3600 (http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3600) tells us that label only can be translated with 'gettext' during initialization, and this happens to me too.

Can somebody help me? I think must exist a way to translate fields form for a model...

Thanks!

You need to use ugettext_lazy() instead of ugettext().

Thanks! But anyone knows if it exists a way to translate without putting each field twice?:

forms.py:
class MyForm(ModelForm):

        # First:
        name = forms.CharField(label=_('Name'))
        description = forms.CharField(label=_("Description"))

        class Meta:
                model = models.MyModel

                # Second:
                fields = ('name', 'description')

I'm having the same issue as the OP. Each time I go to mysite.com/
myapp, Apache seems to look for a file called /var/www/myapp, instead
of launching the Django project I attempt to specify in my <Location>
directive.

I have a project called "mturk". I want to run it on from mysite.com/
myapp. Based on the answers to the OP's questions, it seems like I
should be putting something like this in one of my configuration
files:

<Location "/myapp/">
        SetHandler python-program
        PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
        SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings
        PythonOption django.root /home/rex/django/mturk
        PythonDebug On
        PythonPath "['/home/rex/django/mturk'] + sys.path"
</Location>

Some sources say this snippet should go in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf,
and some sources say it should go in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-
default. Which should I go with? Also, I read somewhere that I should
change my DocumentRoot to the path to the Django project, but wouldn't
that expose my database and my Python source?

Thanks,

Rex

*sigh* Will people please stop *guessing* at what goes into the
django.root option?  Don't use options you don't understand what they're
for and if you work out that a particular option is needed, understand
what it does before filling it in. :-(

The documentation is pretty clear on what it should contain:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/modpython/#basi...

It depends on which distribution you're running. On Fedora, for example,
it goes in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ . So you'll need to provide some more
information.

The Django documentation for installing with modpython is accurate and
complete, so use that as your reference (then using the Apache manual
and other places to understand the terms in there if you're not sure).
The above advice is not just bad, it's dangerous and stupid. So you're
right to be suspicious. There's simply no reason to do that.

Malcolm

It turns out the problem was my PythonPath directive -- whereas I had
it set to contain the project directory, /home/rex/django/mturk, I
needed to set it to the parent directory, /home/rex/django. It works
now.

The result is :

<Location "/myapp/">
         SetHandler python-program
         PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
         SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings
         PythonOption django.root /home/rex/django/mturk

Hi

I've installed Django 1.02 on my dedibox. I'm trying to make .py file
readable and executable.
Apache, Python, Django are installed.
We have many website :
/var/www/mysite1
/var/www/mysite2
/var/www/mysite3

we have :
/var/django/mysite1
/var/django/mysite2

We configure in /etc/apache2/site-available/mysite1 :

----------
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        ServerName mysite1.com
        ServerAlias mysite1.com www.mysite1.fr mysite1.fr

        <Location "/">
            SetHandler python-program

You seem to have dropped the e off the end of FlatpageFallbackMiddelware in
your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting that includes that middleware.

Either way, their dango.root setting is wrong as they are setting it
to physical file system path. Remove that whole django.root setting as
you do not need it when mounting at root of site.

The sooner people stop using mod_python the better. ;-)
