https://github.com/satyaakam/fossacademy/wiki

Hey,

 

https://github.com/satyaakam/fossacademy/wiki

Steps given on wiki for setting environment did not work for me. It show error.

I have done following to set virtual environment:

1> mv settings.py settings1.py

2> cp settings_local.dist.py settings.py

3> open settings.py with emacs or any text editor and edit first line:

    from settings1 import *

Please verify steps on wiki page.

Hey,

what is the exact error are you getting ?

settings_local.dist.py is dependent on settings.py (check first line of settings_local.dist.py.)

if we copy settings_local.dist.py to settings.py, it will show many error at line number 1,85,91.

error are:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "manage.py", line 16, in <module>

    import settings

  File "/home/kantesh/Temp/fossacademy2/lernanta/settings.py", line 85, in <module>

    INSTALLED_APPS += (

NameError: name 'INSTALLED_APPS' is not defined

The same mozbadges error popped up i copied the present settings.py as settings1.py then copied the 

settings_local.dist.py settings.py and made changes , the site is working fine , want to know is there  a way to avoid this step also i want to understand why we need this step ? because in the original code this was not required.

once you do the changes i will finalized the changes on wiki there will be  more people joining for dev work.

[aka]

kantesh i think we should use the steps on wiki
 dese steps can again create prob
using : cp settings_local.dist.py settings.py
we lose the settings.py

[Kantesh Raj]

Hey, 

using : cp settings_local.dist.py settings.py

This step is easy to implement and doesnot required any modification in other file.

 

we lose the settings.py

 

We will not lose anything because we are using git and main repo is on github. 

[aka]

 we ll get the installed+=[] error again
but let it be its working now

[aka]

we ll get it later
