#4516 Virtualmin: Django 1.7.1 installation fails with default settings

[Juris Malinens]

Django 1.7.1 installation fails with default settings on Centos7 64bit

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>
execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
File "/home/asdgdfg/public_html/lib/python/Django-1.7.1-py2.7.egg/django/core/management/init.py", line 385, in execute_from_command_line

also in the script /usr/libexec/webmin/virtual-server/scripts/django.pl in python version check it states that Django => 1.5 requires Python 2.6.5 but now Django 1.7.1 requires already Python 2.7 as minimal requirement:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/intro/install/

basically what I found in generated settings.py file is dublicate django.contrib.admin:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
)

if I comment out

            #if ($l =~ /INSTALLED_APPS\s*=\s*\(/) {
            #       splice(@$lref, $i+1, 0,
            #              "    'django.contrib.admin',");
            #       }

installations finishes but I get 500 error:

(104)Connection reset by peer: [client 192.168.0.100:62715] mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server
[Thu Dec 04 05:29:50.751867 2014] [core:error] [pid 6394] [client 192.168.0.100:62715] End of script output before headers: django.fcgi

When I run Django with built-in webserver:

-sh-4.2$ python manage.py runserver
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 8, in <module>
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named django.core.management</module>

That happens because

/home/testdjango/public_html/lib/python/

is not in PYTHONPATH

and:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/testdjango/public_html/lib/python

helps.

BUT!

when I run now Django, I get:

django.db.utils.OperationalError: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "testdjango"

and this is PostgreSQL config issue which can be fixed

[Jamie Cameron]

Do you see these same problems when using MySQL instead of PostgreSQL?

[Juris Malinens]

The last error is postgres issue and not much to do with installation. But those previous errors should be fixed...

and installer should move away from fcgid implementation as it is now deprecated (as of version 1.7) and will be removed:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/deployment/fastcgi/

[Jamie Cameron]

Yes, I'll fix up those settings.py and version comparison issues.

Regarding the 500 error - did you install Django into a sub-directory, or at the top level in the target domain?

[Juris Malinens]

top-level
