Configure Django1.6 with python 27 on openshift Step by step

Question

Openshift had made some changes to their files in python 2.7 application.

So I would like to know how to host a django16 site on python27 in OPENSHIFT

Answer 1

Steps to create in OPENSHIFT

1. Create a Project:

• create a python2.7 application in openshift
• create an sshkey ssh-keygen -t rsa and upload the publickey cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

2. Clone the Project:

• clone the app.(ie git clone ssh://52fb16fa4382..@n-suhail.rhcloud.com/~/git/n.git/)

Now a folder is created with files : requirements.txt,setup.py and wsgi.py

3. Copy the project folder to that directory.

So that the project tree is something like:

requirements.txt
setup.py
wsgi.py
mysite/
    manage.py
    sample/
        __init__.py
        settings.py
        urls.py
        wsgi.py

4. Edit the file wsgi.py

Replace the whole content by:

note: You need to correct the path of settings.py(sample.settings) and the path of your project(mysite)

#!/usr/bin/python
import os, sys

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'sample.settings'
sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.environ['OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR'],'mysite'))

virtenv = os.path.join(os.environ['OPENSHIFT_PYTHON_DIR'],'virtenv')
virtualenv = os.path.join(virtenv, 'bin/activate_this.py')
try:execfile(virtualenv, dict(__file__=virtualenv))
except IOError:pass

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

5. Add your project's requirements in requirements.txt file :

something like:

Django

6. Commit and push to server

• git add .
• git commit -m "Initialization"
• git push
