Hi,
Very nice tutotial. But after all I have problems…

after things like: PythonPath “[r'c:\'] + sys.path” etc doesn’t work for me.
Only way is PythonPath “['c:/'] + sys.path” or PythonPath “['c:\\\'] + sys.path”. But this is not subject of my problem…

I’m using Winsdows Vista Bus., Apache2.2.8, python2.5.1, mod_python3.3.1.

Now it looks like working, buut: when I’m trying to connect my site i have error: ViewDoesNotExist or TemplateDoesNotExist (when trying to open simgle subpage) and this is untrue because with django server (run server) everything work fine.

Sorry for me english. Please help

[...] I’ve followed some of this, while I keep going through the jolly good Django Book. I’ve not tried the database stuff yet [...]

I should also have noted that I’m attempting this with MySQL instead of PostgreSQL. I don’t think that would make a difference for this part of the setup but maybe I’m wrong on that?

First of all, hats off to those who created this tutorial and also to all of you who have contributed your efforts on this board.

I’m having the toughest time trying to get my httpd.conf file right. Here’s what I currently have at the end of the file:

SetHandler python-program
PythonPath “['C:/django'] + sys.path”
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE testproject.settings
PythonDebug On

SetHandler None

When I go to restart Apache 2.2, I get an error message that says “The requested operation has failed.” When I remove all of the django config stuff, Apache starts just fine.

Thoughts?

Hello everyone,

I’m stuck at the step #8b where I couldn’t execute this command:

C:\django_src>python setup.py develop

I really hope someone might show me where did I go wrong…

Thanks

Regards,

Redza

Just a note on the “ImportError: No module named django.core” error. I hit this tonight and figured it was a problem with my environment path. After several failed attempts to fix it I found that the problem was with my windows association for the .py extension. Since my last run of django-admin.py from the command line I had installed Python 2.5 but my django installation was under 2.4. Just a reminder to be careful with where things are running.

I fixed the problem by right clicking on a .py file and changing the default program back to the 2.4 version of python.

[...] hate to say, there is 10 times better written article than this one on installing Django on Windows here. I will highly advice you to go there and see it. It is just that I was not aware of [...]

It took me a while to figure out how to run and install django. Nevertheless I got it to work. At the moment I am trying to build an app similar to a video tutorial that jacobb comes out on which is the photo app. I was able to get the first part running which is making a photo project and making a photos app. Successfully launched the admin interface and from the admin I built the photos app. Was able to get the uploading part but when I go back to the admin photo interface I have a problem I cant view the photo thumbnails in the admin site. I have three fields which are the image field, title, and the time. Under the image field all i see is text that points to the name of the img. Is there a tutorial for setting up an image database using django. Im looking to build a simple sort of like a news posting similar to Jacobbs app in a google video tutorial. Can somebody help me. Been looking for documentation all over but cant seem to get anything done…thanks

Hi
I am following your tutorial and am not successful

window Xp
apache 2.2 running
mysql 4.1

downloaded and installed:

1.
C:\dev\python25 also path set to %python25%\Lib\site-packages
not sure if path set up was necessary

2.
mod_python-3.3.1.win32-py2.5-Apache2.2
installed mod-python at my C:\dev\python25 directory

apache config the http file with
LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so
apache would not start !

also, During installation of mod_python,
it couldn’t recognise my apache server error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 115, in
File “C:\dev\Python25\lib\shutil.py”, line 91, in copy2
copyfile(src, dst)
File “C:\dev\Python25\lib\shutil.py”, line 47, in copyfile
fdst = open(dst, ‘wb’)
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/bin\\modules\\mod_python.so’

I can get to recognise the

What steps am I missing?
