Hello rrr4, we have not found that problem testing in our machines but we are going to try it in your configuration in order to reproduce the error.

We will try to answer as soon as possible.

Topic: DjangoStack / I was running through the DjangoBook tutorials and now I need a Python Imaging Library

Hi people, I guess we are talking here about a Windows installation because of the exe and winrar keywords ;)

Ok, the problem here is that most of python for windows libraries expect to find Python in registry, but the bitnami stacks have a policy about respecting the native system, so you can have your custom Python installation and Bitnami Python will not create conflicts.

But that’s not a problem because you are dealing with the best scripting language ever created (am I right?) and it lets you made your job easily in several ways.

You can use setuptools, eggs, ..., but I will give you the solution I find easiest:

- Go to http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/index.htm#pil116 and download the sourcekit.

- Now browse the file using winrar or your favourite tool and you will see a lot of stuff.

- Ignore all and select the PIL folder and the PIL.pth file and copy both to DJANGOSTACK_DIR\python\Lib\site-packages\

- Now open your use_djangostack and type “import PIL”, it should be available.

Hope it helps, cheers

Topic: DjangoStack / how can i start my app?

Well, I think that there is an issue but it’s another one. If I were a django developer I would prefer having my projects at my home directory. So I think that the link is correct, but the issue to fix would be the initial project, that should be created also at the home directory and not under Program Files. This was created this way in order to be “close” to the djangoconsole, but all of this can be reconfigured in the next djangostack release.

We would like to hear from all of you what is your preferred configuration because we want the djangostack that users want.

Cheers and thank you for your solution.

Hi felipex:

Please give us some info:
- Have you created the project during the installation?
- Which OS are you using?

Thanks JPS,

It’s very important for us your feedback. The stack includes SSL but what do you exactly mean with all the hooks?

Cheers

Topic: DjangoStack / importerror: no module named django.core.management

HI jw00zy33, could you give us more details?:
- Which OS are you executing?
- Which command are you typing when you get that error?
- Are you executing it from djangoconsole or from system prompt?

Cheers

Topic: LAPPStack / Latest LAPPStack uses OLD version of PHP

Hi lpso,

I think you have merged two different installations of PHP because we pack LAPPStack with PHP-5.2.6. You can check it moving to your installation directory and inside PHP dir type:

And you should get:
PHP 5.2.6 (cli) (built: Jul 15 2008 11:16:14) Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies

I hope it helps

P.S. Regarding to your suggestions we will take them into account for a future release. Thanks for them.

Topic: WAPPStack / Login PostgreSQL failure - 0.9-beta stack

There are two login steps with the phpPgAdmin panel. The first one is to login to reach the panel. You must insert “administrator” as the user and the password you supplied during the installation.

Once you are in the panel, you have to log to the PostgreSQL database. Here the username is “postgres” and the password the one you supplied during the installation. It is the same password the two times.

From now on, you can create PostgreSQL users with the panel, so next time you will be able to log, as the users you create, to the databases. But the “administrator” user to access the panel will always remain the same.

Hope it helps.

Topic: WAPPStack / Login PostgreSQL failure - 0.9-beta stack

Well, it is the PostgreSQL standard so it is documented in the main postgresql documentation. But we should improve our documentation adding that information.

Postgres user can create other users and give administrator permissions to them, so you can use the CREATE ROLE function in phpPgAdmin if you feel more comfortable with it.

If you have more suggestions or ideas to improve the stack, feel free to contribute.

Cheers

Topic: WAPPStack / Login PostgreSQL failure - 0.9-beta stack

Hello JonB, the ‘administrator’ username is used to access the phpPgAdmin panel. Once you are inside you must log to a database and each database you create can have a different owner. But you also have a default “root” user which name is “postgres” that can access and create databases.

So if you want to login use “postgres” as user and the password that you provide during the installation process.

I hope it helps you. Cheers

Topic: WAMPStack / WAPP stack

Hello everyone,

we just release a complete set of stacks bundling Apache, PHP and PostgreSQL. You can find Linux, OS X and Windows versions in http://bitnami.org/stacks.

Topic: Stacks suggestions / Lighty, PGSQL, PHP

Hello JPS,

I know you wrote a few months ago but I think you would be interested in our latest release. You can find a complete infrastructure MAPPStack bundling Apache, PHP, PosgreSQL and the phpPgAdmin tool at http://bitnami.org/stack/mappstack.

We hope it fits your needs.

Topic: DjangoStack / Issues on XP

Hi T Gorham,

Here from Bitnami, we can’t configure the installer in order to execute:

django-admin.py startproject mysite

If we do so, we would damage a previous python installation you could have in your system, so we do not enter data in Windows Registry. If you want that association, you should use the Folder Options menu in order to associate .py files with python.exe and if you still have problems modidy the PATHEXT environment variable in order to tell Windows that .py files are executables.

If you do not want to do that steps, you also can use your Djangostack, but you must insert:

python django-admin.py startproject mysite

The problem is that PATH does not work for program arguments, so you must write the path to file:

python c:\Path_to_Django_bin\django-admin.py startproject mysite

Perhaps a little tricky but you only have to do it at the beginning to create your project, and afterwards, you only have to move to your project directory and execute:

python manage.py <commands>

I hope it helps.

Best regards,

Diego

P.S. Well, you are send to your home folder in order to let you go to the place where you want to store your projects.

Topic: DjangoStack / Issues on XP

I forgot, the “use_djangostack.bat” is the same file as the old “djangoconsole.bat”, it is just a new name in order to have a standard between the stacks.

Topic: DjangoStack / Issues on XP

Hi tgorham,

I think when you say “import stephane” you mean importing the initial project, don’t you?

Are you sure you are in the correct directory, I mean, the PATH and PYTHONPATH work with the system commands and for the “Python Import” function, but they do not include you project directories.

Have you tried using “python /route/to/django-admin.py startproject mysite”?

We will be waiting your answer, you can also read about django-admin configuration on the official site.

Please, tell us which will be the configuration you like the most for DjangoStack.

Cheers
