VadtecWk: i think i would try logging on the DB server at this point, to check that the correct queries are made and that they return what they should

How does django uploads work in deployment?

like, what do I have to do to make it work nginx-iwes?

wise*

The-BB, ah, i figured it out, one of the FK fields didnt have a value, so it was getting excluded by the admin due to select_related

There's gitlab, the software that runs github. Is there something equivalent for heroku, or at least with similar purpose?

Atlantic777: OpenShift?

nasim: looks promising. :)

Is there a way to use different views (cbvs) for the same url pattern /dashboard/ depending on the type of user logged in?

moneydouble: maybe you can make a dispatcher view which will call another function for rendering and return the result.

Hi. cache.set doesn't seem to work when I run my website, but it works in ./manage.py shell. What could be wrong?

Do you have any idea how to turn on logging (or find logs) for Firefox on Windows ?

Firefox supposedly has -console commandline option, but it does nothing on Linux as far as I can see. Unless it's windows-only.

b0rsuk|has_a_job: maybe this isn't the bast place to ask such question. I would try on Firefox official support channel, it's probably on Mozilla's IRC server.

b0rsuk|has_a_job: yup, irc.mozilla.org #firefox

What do you guys think about using HAML/YAML ans SasS as a professional?

It has it's advantages but it seems like it's another thing everybody on the team would have to learn.

is there a better way to make `email` a unique user model field without copying most of AbstractBaseUser?

"since Django does not support overriding model fields, you do need to copy all of this from the AbstractUser class within django.contrib.auth.models rather than simply extending and overriding the email field." -- http://www.caktusgroup.com/blog/2013/08/07/migr...

Is there a particular reason why I get HTTP 500 errors when I run my site with DEBUG = False but not when I have debug enabled?

Or rather, how could I find out what causes this?

An_Ony_Moose: just making sure: the site runs fine when DEBUG is True, right?

An_Ony_Moose: checkout ALLOWED_HOSTS

tswett: yes it does

nasim: what would I put in it? It isn't currently defined.

I would check serving static contents.

nasim: and wouldn't it make more sense to have a 403 rather than a 500 in that case?

Atlantic777: aaah right so I need to have something separate serving static contents if DEBUG isn't enabled?

An_Ony_Moose: either that, or tweak runserver to serve static contents too. Check it in docs. :)

Regarding my problem above ("from django.core.wsgi" giving "ImportError: No module named wsgi"), I just remembered that Django uses absolute paths for certain things, so since I've moved the site between servers, I need to change those absolute paths, too.

I changed the ones in settings.py, but that hasn't changed anything.

Atlantic777: well, it's neater if I have a separate server (apache or nginx) for static stuff so I might as well quickly set it up

aaaand it works.

An_Ony_Moose: if it's not a problem to manage it that way, than go for it. :)

Where is django.core.wsgi supposed to be?

django.core.wsgi?

that's part of django :/

I would try to import that from django shell.

part of django itself* (so pytonpath probably)

From the Django shell, good idea.

It will probably be ok but make yourself sure that it's not problem with that module.

That's "python manage.py shell", right? I'm getting another juicy little error message.

Yup, that's right.

And what's the message?

TL;DR: django.utils.log.RequireDebugFalse doesn't seem to exist.

Ohh, the version of Django I have installed is 1.3.1. I'm pretty sure that's too old for this site.

It doesn't exist here on 1.4.5 either.

Well, let me try to see what version of Django I had on the old server. Couldn't hurt to match versions.

Yeah, the old one had 1.4.2.

All right, I guess I'll uninstall the Django I have and install 1.4.2 in its place.

so, virtualenv + that django version + uwsgi with python plugin ;)

You should try using virtualenvs.

Uh, sounds kind of dangerous.

I mean.

Sounds kind of scary.

nope, not at all

Let me help you. :D

Install python-pip, python-virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper

Are you suggesting that I use virtualenvs *instead* of uninstalling the existing Django and installing 1.4.2 in its place?

actually, yes, just as example why it is handy to use virtualenvs

Yeah, I... guess I could do that.

I'm going to go ahead and uninstall the old Django regardless, because I don't want it.

that's ok

All right, I've got those things uninstalled.
