(Please read the complete installation instructions.)
To create a PyLucid virtual environment, use our bootstrap script:
/home/FooBar$ wget https://raw.github.com/jedie/PyLucid/master/bootstrap/pylucid-boot.py /home/FooBar$ python pylucid-boot.py PyLucid_env
/home/FooBar$ cd PyLucid_env /home/FooBar/PyLucid_env$ ./create_page_instance.sh /var/www/YourSite
After run our script you have these files/directory:
| /var/www/YourSite/media/ | Static media files |
| /var/www/YourSite/index.fcgi | fastCGI dispatcher file |
| /var/www/YourSite/index.wsgi | mod_WSGI dispatcher file |
| /var/www/YourSite/index.cgi | CGI handler, should only used for debugging |
| /var/www/YourSite/local_settings.py | your own settings |
| /var/www/YourSite/manage.py | Access to django cli management |
| /var/www/YourSite/.htaccess | prepared to use fast_CGI, mod_WSGI, CGI via mod_rewrite |
create database tables and insert initial data:
/home/FooBar/PyLucid_env$ cd /var/www/YourSite /var/www/YourSite$ ./manage.py syncdb /var/www/YourSite$ ./manage.py migrate /var/www/YourSite$ ./manage.py loaddata pylucid.json
Now you can start the local developer server with:
/var/www/YourSite$ ./manage.py runserver
Or use these files for apache with fastCGI:
- /var/www/YourSite/index.fcgi
- /var/www/YourSite/.htaccess
To complete the installation follow the steps in setup PyLucid after installation.
