Hiding secure django settings info on webfaction

Question

I am trying to hide secure info like database password of a django application on webfaction.
But I could not find how and where to set these infos using environmental v

Answer 1

Add them to your bash_profile.

Once you SSH in run:

nano ~/.bash_profile

Then add your desired variables and save it. Example:

export DATABASE_URL=postgres://username:password@host:port/databasename

This will create an environment variable named DATABASE_URL with the contents of your string. To test, run echo $DATABASE_URL in your terminal.
