Wididit is a distributed social network.
Check out the doc at <http://doc.wididit.progval.net/>.

Dependencies
============

* Python 2 (tested with 2.7)
* Django (tested with 2.3)
* django_mobile
* django-gravatar
* The Wididit Python library

settings.py
===========

Here is what should a base settings.py contain (plus the standard things)

	TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
	    'django_mobile.loader.Loader',
	    # ...
	)

	TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
	    'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
	    'django_mobile.context_processors.flavour',
	    'django.core.context_processors.static',
	    'wididitserver.views.context_processor',
	)

	MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
	    # ...
	    'django_mobile.middleware.MobileDetectionMiddleware',
	    'django_mobile.middleware.SetFlavourMiddleware',
	)

	INSTALLED_APPS = (
	    # ...
	    'django.contrib.markup',
	    'wididitserver',
	    'south',
	    'piston',
	    'django_mobile',
	    'gravatar',
	)

	WIDIDIT_HOSTNAME = 'example.com'
	WIDIDIT_SERVERNAME = 'The name used on the web interface.'
	PISTON_IGNORE_DUPE_MODELS = True

urls.py
=======

And a standart urls.py:

	urlpatterns = patterns('',
	    url(r'', include('wididitserver.urls', namespace='wididit')),
	    (r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
			{'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT,
			    'show_indexes': True}),
	)

Don't forget to give the namespace, it is important. If you don't give it,
some templates will fail rendering.

Web server configuration
========================

Never use the Django development server in production!

Apache
------

Here is a sample Apache configuration, using mod_wsgi:

	<VirtualHost 0.0.0.0:80>
		ServerName dev.progval.42

		DocumentRoot /home/progval/workspace/wididit/server/
		WSGIScriptAlias / /home/progval/workspace/wididit/server/django.wsgi
		Alias /static/admin/ /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/
		WSGIPassAuthorization On

		<Directory "/home/progval/workspace/wididit/server/">
			Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
			Order allow,deny
			Allow from all
		</Directory>
		<Location /static>
			SetHandler none
		</Location>

		TransferLog /var/log/apache2/dev.progval.42.log
	</VirtualHost>

Don't forget to set `WSGIPassAuthorization on`! If you don't Apache will strip
HTTP Authorization headers, and the API will be read only.

And the associated django.wsgi file:

	import os
	import sys

	path = '/home/progval/workspace/wididit/server'
	if path not in sys.path:
	    sys.path.append(path)

	os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'

	import django.core.handlers.wsgi
	application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

nginx
-----

Here is a sample nginx configuration, using fcgi and UNIX sockets (thanks to
the Django doc):

	server {
		listen 80;
		server_name dev.progval.42;
		location / {
			# host and port to fastcgi server
			fastcgi_pass unix:/home/progval/workspace/wididit/server/mysite.sock;
			fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
			fastcgi_param REQUEST_METHOD $request_method;
			fastcgi_param QUERY_STRING $query_string;
			fastcgi_param CONTENT_TYPE $content_type;
			fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH $content_length;
			fastcgi_pass_header Authorization;
			fastcgi_intercept_errors off;
			fastcgi_param REMOTE_ADDR $remote_addr;
			}
		access_log	/var/log/nginx/dev.progval.42.access_log;
		error_log	/var/log/nginx/dev.progval.42.error_log;
	}

And here is a simple bash script to start the FastCGI worker:

	#!/bin/bash

	# Replace these three settings.
	PROJDIR="/home/progval/workspace/wididit/server"
	PIDFILE="$PROJDIR/mysite.pid"
	SOCKET="$PROJDIR/mysite.sock"

	cd $PROJDIR
	if [ -f $PIDFILE ]; then
	    kill `cat -- $PIDFILE`
	    rm -f -- $PIDFILE
	    echo "Restarting."
	fi

	./manage.py runfcgi  --settings=settings pidfile=$PIDFILE socket=$SOCKET
