CMS Project

This repository stores the Django-CMS starter project for Pinax. This project is open source and the license can be found in LICENSE.

Installation

To get setup with cms_project code you must have the following installed:

• Python 2.6+
• virtualenv 1.4.7+
• C compiler (for PIL)

Setting up environment

Create a virtual environment where your dependencies will live:

$ virtualenv --no-site-packages mycmsproject
$ source mycmsproject/bin/activate
(mycmsproject)$ pip install pinax

Use cms_project as your project.

OR

Copy package to site-packages/pinax/projects directory and setup new project:

(mycmsproject)$ pinax-admin setup_project -b cms mycms

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:

(mycmsproject)$ python manage.py syncdb

Running a web server

In development you should run:

(mycmsproject)$ python manage.py runserver

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.
