django-settings

I'm trying to read some environment variables in Django settings, which i have defined in /home/user/.bashrc (and latter in /etc/bash.bashrc ) , but all i get is a KeyError exception. I know my environment variables are set, because i can print them in the terminal (echo $VAR_NAME). This should be trivial. This is the code i'm using. from django.core.exceptions import ImproperlyConfigured msg = "Set the %s environment variable" def get_env_variable(var_name): try: return os.environ[var_name] except KeyError: error_msg = msg % var_name raise ImproperlyConfigured(error_msg) OS_DB_USER = get_env

I'm specifying the databases using a python object: DATABASES = { 'default':{ 'ENGINE':'mysql', 'NAME':'testsqldb', 'USER':'<username>', 'PASSWORD':'<password>', }, 'dynamic_data':{ 'ENGINE': 'sqlite3', 'NAME':'', 'USER':'', 'PASSWORD':'' }, } How can I specify the name of my test database? I've been trying to use TEST_NAME = 'auto_tests' in the settings.py file. However, when I run python manage.py tests <app_name> I get the following message: Creating test database 'default'... Got an error creating the test database: (1007, "Can't create database 'test_testsqldb'; database exists") Type

I have a Django site that works on my PC, and was working briefly on my server after loading it on. I noticed my server had Django 1.6 and I upgraded to 1.8. After rebooting, none of the pages on my site load and I get the error: ImportError No module named context_processors I read through the docs on Django and allauth. Django mentions that in 1.8 the context_processors moved and allauth says specific allauth tags are no longer needed in the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS of settings.py . Django: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/settings/ Allauth: https://django-allauth.readthedocs.org

how can I do it? I thought, I can read something from database, but it looks too much, is there something like?: settings.DATABASES['default'].check_connection() All you need to do is start a application and if its not connected it will fail. Other way you can try is on shell try following - from django.db import connections from django.db.utils import OperationalError db_conn = connections['default'] try: c = db_conn.cursor() except OperationalError: connected = False else: connected = True I use the following Django management command called wait_for_db : import time from django.db import

I am setting up my own Django server using this Digital Ocean tutorial . I created the Django framework following each step, and ran the server using this command: ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 When I tried to visit the IP at port 8000, the following error was shown: DisallowedHost at / Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8000'. You may need to add u'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX' to ALLOWED_HOSTS. (IP substituted with X's) Why is this happening? randyr In your settings.py , there is a list called ALLOWED_HOSTS . You need to add the IP address you see in the error to that list: ALLOWED_HOSTS = [

I am having some trouble setting the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE for my Django project. I have a directory at ~/dev/django-project . In this directory I have a virtual environment which I have set up with virtualenv, and also a django project called "blossom" with an app within it called "onora". Running tree -L 3 from ~/dev/django-project/ shows me the following: . ├── Procfile ├── blossom │ ├── __init__.py │ ├── __init__.pyc │ ├── fixtures │ │ └── initial_data_test.yaml │ ├── manage.py │ ├── onora │ │ ├── __init__.py │ │ ├── __init__.pyc │ │ ├── admin.py │ │ ├── admin.pyc │ │ ├── models.py │ │ ├─
