Setting Up Your (gc) Django GridContainer
This article has the following dependencies:
- If you currently do not have your Django GridContainer enabled you will need to have one in order to complete the steps in this article. You can add a container from within the AccountCenter.
- Whenever installing Third-Party software please consult the official documentation. (mt) Media Temple does not support the installation and configuration of software not installed at time of service activation. For issues that fall outside of our Scope of Support, we recommend checking our User Forums and searching on Google for possible avenues of resolution.
- mt-example.com is used as an example. Please be sure to replace this text with the proper information for your site or server.
- GridContainer technology allows you to process frameworks such as Django or Ruby on Rails in an isolated environment. Make sure that you have RAM appropriate to the needs of your application. Not having enough resources can cause memory problems and instability in your application.
- Set up the base Python libraries:
- ez_setup
- MySQL_python
- psycopg2
- flup
- Pygments
- docutils
- Load the new Environment.
This is only necessary if done right after above commands. Future logins to your (gs) Grid-Service will do this automatically.
source .bash_profile
mtd setup_pylibsThis installs into /home/#####/data/python the following libraries:
It also updates your .bash_profile and .pydistutils.cfg to point to this directory.
Congratulations! Your Django environment is all set up.
