  Don't create user now!

  new_user = CustomUser.objects.create_user(username='yourname', email='', password='yourpassword')

  new_user.is_superuser=True

  new_user.save()

  exit()

  sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/xcms

And paste this configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName server.com
ServerAlias www.server.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/xcms
Alias /media/ /path/to/xcms/templates/media/
Alias /static/admin/ /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/media/


<Directory /path/to/xcms>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

WSGIDaemonProcess server.com processes=2 threads=15 display-name=%{GROUP}
WSGIProcessGroup server.com
WSGIScriptAlias / /path/to/xcms/apache/django.wsgi

</VirtualHost>

And activate the site

sudo a2ensite xcms

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload

• Modify path.json file: enter existing ip, url, login and pass of your pool master and right path to the hosts and vms dump files

• In file views.py modify a full path to the path.json file
