installing in webfaction

[andylou]

can you help or guide me install ?
I am not clear about virtualenv
first what I did is installing PIL and PostgreSQl on src
base on these link:
https://jamiecurle.co.uk/blog/webfaction-installing-pil/
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5394331/how-to-setup-postgresql-database-in-django

and then I follow the short instruction on installation pinry which is:?
virtualenv .
bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

and I run python manage.py syncdb
I set everything to production so I configure database in postgresql

Did I missing anything? seems like database is not installing?

Please I need your guide

If that can help you, i finally have a working pinry on webfaction acount, using ENV.

You need to create an application mod_wsgi in webfaction panel

My httpd.conf :

ServerRoot "/home/reyman64/webapps/pinry/apache2"

LoadModule dir_module        modules/mod_dir.so
LoadModule env_module        modules/mod_env.so
LoadModule log_config_module modules/mod_log_config.so
LoadModule mime_module       modules/mod_mime.so
LoadModule rewrite_module    modules/mod_rewrite.so
LoadModule setenvif_module   modules/mod_setenvif.so
LoadModule wsgi_module       modules/mod_wsgi.so

    ServerName pic.squirrelartblog.fr
    ServerAlias www.pic.squirrelartblog.fr
</VirtualHost>

My wsgy.py :

import os,sys,site

site.addsitedir('/home/reyman64/.virtualenvs/pinry/lib/python2.7/site-packages')

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "pinry.settings.production")

activate_this = os.path.expanduser("~/.virtualenvs/pinry/bin/activate_this.py")
execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this))

project = '/home/reyman64/webapps/pinry/pinry/'
workspace = os.path.dirname(project)
sys.path.append(workspace)

sys.path = ['/home/reyman64/webapps/pinry/pinry',
'/home/reyman64/webapps/pinry/pinry/apps',
'/home/reyman64/webapps/pinry'] + sys.path

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

my production.py :

from pinry.settings import *
import os
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['pic.squirrelartblog.fr', ]
DEBUG = True
TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'nameofbd',
        'USER': 'bduser',
        'PASSWORD': 'password',
        'HOST': ''
    }
}

# TODO: Be sure to set this.
SECRET_KEY = 'mysecretkey'

I run multiple time syncdb and migrate without success, and finally i understand with help of webfaction operator (webfaction is really a great hosting platform !) that i need to change in manage.py :

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "pinry.settings.development")
transformed to os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "pinry.settings.production")

Rerun syncdb and migrate, and normally that work :)
Hope that can help you

@andylou I hope this helped, I'm closing this though, none of the core devs use Webfactions so I can't provide direct support for it. The only thing we really suggest deploying with right now is Docker, so any system that supports docker you can use https://github.com/pinry/docker-pinry
