lifecubomed

Initial setup

1. Clone this repository.

    git clone git@github.com:ygneo/lifecubomed.git
   

2. Create a virtualenv for the project.

    mkvirtualenv lifecubomed
   

3. Install required PyPI packages.

    pip install -r pip-requirements.txt
   

4. If PIL is being installed wrong, no JPEG or PNG support can be avaliable. As a workaround, uninstall it, if pillow has been correctly installed:

    pip uninstall PIL
    pip uninstall pillow
    pip install pillow
   

5. Edit settings.py

   • Set the languages you want to have avaliable, and the default one, in LANGUAGES and DEFAULT_LANGUAGE settings.
   • By default, sqlite3 db backend is used. You can change DATABASES setting to fit your needs.
   • Set your TIME_ZONE and your LANGUAGE_CODE.
   • If you're not going to use i18n and/or l10n, you can set USE_I8N and/ot USER_L10N to false.
   • Set your media root absolute path, where the user-uploaded files will be saved.
   • By default, STATIC_ROOT is set to 'static/' directory, relative to settings.py path. Change it if you need it.
   • Change SECRET_KEY to something unique.
   • Django CMS's templates will be loaded by default from 'templates/' directory, relative to settings.py path. Change TEMPLATES if you want something different.
   • Only one sample CMS template is set in CMS_TEMPLATES setting. Add yours.
   • Three sample django cms placeholders are configured. Feel free to change them.
   • A default configuration for logging is made and ready to be modified in LOGGING setting.

6. Use local_settings.py.tpl as a template for your own local_settings.py file, which is git-ignored so you can have different settings per enviroment. It's recommended to configure the DATABASE connection in local_settings.py, since password won't be pushed to the repository. Start by copying the template:

    cp local_settings.py.tpl local_settings.py
   

7. Optionaly, you can create fab_settings.py from fab_settings.py.tpl if you want to use fabric tasks (see section below).

    cp fab_settings.py.tpl fab_settings.py
   

8. Create your configured database, and run manage commands to create tables and apply migrations

    ./manage.py syncdb
    ./manage.py migrate
   

9. Now you should be able to run the development server.

    ./manage.py runserver
