Need help installing django-cms

Question

This question is related to newbie Django and Django-cms trying to install django-cms on a shared hosting account. Here is what I have done so far:

• Django installed in ~ / .local / lib / python (using python 2.4.3)

• Flup was also installed in the same place.

• Created the directory of my application (site) - ~ / .local / lib / python / eck

• downloaded and extracted django-cms in ~ / .local / lib / python / eck

• Copied the cms, mptt and publisher folders to ~ / .local / lib / python / Ek

Where I am stuck. Not sure what to do next. Should I copy the contents of the example folder to ~ / .local / lib / python / eck and configure an existing settings.py file? What about other files and folders. Which of them need to be copied to "eck"?

In the folder "example" there is a folder "sampleapp". What should I do with this?

thank

TIA

Answer 1

Did you start Django for the first time without Django-CMS? First I will take care of this, and then I will think about how to install Django-CMS. You must create a project somewhere outside of your web root using the django-admin.py commands. Then configure the server to point to it - possibly on Apache with mod_wsgi or mod_python . I would have thought the first one, since you are installing the wsgi toolkit, but make sure your hosting provider has mod_wsgi installed.

Also, I don't know what your hosting environment is, but you don't need to create your project in the Python directory. See this answer about where to place your project .
