Django on OpenShift

Running on OpenShift

Create an account at http://openshift.redhat.com/

Install the RHC client tools if you have not already done so:

sudo gem install rhc

======= Openshift + Django + MySQL

This is a modified version of the original "openshift/django-example" provided by openshift, so it uses the MySQL database instead of SQLite. You can view the original example code here: https://github.com/openshift/django-example

Run this code on openshift:

Create a python-2.7 application

rhc app create -a mymccc -t python-2.7

Add the MySQL cartridge.

rhc cartridge add mysql-5.5 -a mymccc 
rhc cartridge add phpmyadmin-4 -a mymccc

Add this upstream repo

cd mymccc 
git remote add upstream -m master https://github.com/wj1918/mymccc.git
git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master 

Then push the repo upstream

git push

Now you should be able to checkout your site

http://mymccc-$yournamespace.rhcloud.com

Admin user name and password

To create the admin user and password, access via SSH to your repo on openshift. You can check your SSH info by doing

rhc ssh 

When you are logged in to the server, do this

source $VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/activate
cd $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR/wsgi/openshift
python manage.py createsuperuser

And write the info it asks you for, and that's it (:
