(djangcon)$

Make the project directory your working directory:

Setting up the database

This will vary for production and development. By default the project is set up to run on a SQLite database. If you are setting up a production database see the Configuration section below for where to place settings and get the database running. Now you can run:

(djangocon)$ python manage.py syncdb

Running a web server

In development you should run:

For production, this project comes with a WSGI entry point located in deploy/wsgi.py and can be referenced by gunicorn with deploy.wsgi:application.

Configuration

You can create a local_settings.py file alongside settings.py to override any setting that may be environment/instance specific. This file is ignored in .gitignore.

Data configuration

>>> from symposion.proposals.models import ProposalKind
>>> ProposalKind.objects.create(name="Test")
