mysite

A simple Todo List App developed using Django Web Framework. Allows filtering of the activities based on day, week, month, year. Also allows sorting based on the activity status.

How to deploy the Django web app on PythonAnywhere

Step 1: Fork

Fork the mysite repository to create your own copy of mysite Django App

Step 2: Upload your code to PythonAnywhere

Use bash console on PythonAnywhere to upload your code from github repository for example:

$ git clone https://github.com/myusername/mysite.git

Step 3: Create a virtualenv

Create a virtualenv by mentioning your project name and the version of python you want to use

$ mkvirtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3.4 mysite-virtualenv

Step 4: Install Django

(mysite-virtualenv)$ pip install django

Step 5: Create a Web app with Manual Config

Head over to the Web tab and create a new web app, choosing the "Manual Configuration" option and the right version of Python (the same one you used to create your virtualenv).

Step 6: Enter your virtualenv name

Once that's done, enter the name of your virtualenv in the Virtualenv section on the web tab and click OK. You can just use its short name "mysite-virtualenv", and it will automatically complete to its full path in /home/username/.virtualenvs.

Step 7: Edit your WSGI file

Delete everything except the Django section. Your WSGI file should look something like this:

+++++++++++ DJANGO +++++++++++

import os
import sys

path = '/home/myusername/mysite'
if path not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(path)

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

Step 8: Save the file, hit reload button for your domain.

Visit your site and the web app should be live
