Create project and app

You DO NOT have to do all this. I have just documented all steps, how I have created the django app.

create django project & app within eclipse

Within eclipse (4.5):

• new ... django project ...
• djangosite ...
• django ... custom command ... startapp buyme

create database

• django ... make migrations ... buyme
• django ... migrate

The createsuperuser command has to be run in a CMD-shell in the djangosite folder:

python manage.py createsuperuser

to set the username & password for the admin area.

(alternative) create django project & app manually

This was not recognized as a django project in Eclipse later, so I did not do it this way. But still ...:

django-admin.exe startproject djangosite
cd djangosite

python manage.py startapp buyme
python manage.py makemigrations buyme
python manage.py migrate

python manage.py createsuperuser

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Later I found out this would have been the way to make it a Django project:

eclipse:

• right click on project
  • PyDev ... set as Django project
  • Properties ... PyDev - Django:
    • Django manage.py: manage.py
    • Django settings module: djangosite.settings

register app in project

djangosite/urls.py
	url(r'^buyme/', include('buyme.urls')),

djangosite/settings.py
    INSTALLED_APPS = (...,
    'buyme')

buyme/urls.py
	url(r'^$', 'buyme.views.home', name='home'),

start server

Eclipse ... Run ... Run as ... PyDev: Django or

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

On linux VPS

See #quickstart. If DB gets corrupted, a fresh start goes like this:

rm db.sqlite3
rm buyme/migrations/*

python manage.py makemigrations buyme
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
