# mysql server and what not
sudo apt-get install python-dev mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev
# allow django to connect to mysql
pip install MySQL-python
# create database directory
sudo mysql_install_db
# optional security check
sudo mysql_secure_installation
# go to mysql and create database and user for django connection
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE app CHARACTER SET UTF8;
# Remember to end all commands at an SQL prompt with a semicolon.
# Next, we will create a database user which we will use to connect to and interact with the database. Set the password to something strong and secure:
CREATE USER scriptor@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'fish';
# Now, all we need to do is give our database user access rights to the database we created:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON app.* TO scriptor@localhost;
# Flush the changes so that they will be available during the current session:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
# Exit the SQL prompt to get back to your regular shell session:
exit
# update Django settings
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'scriptor',
'USER': 'myprojectuser',
'PASSWORD': 'fish',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '',
}
}
# make your first migration
# this create default tables for a django skeleton
# including users, sessions and etc
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
# let's create superuser for your app
python manage.py createsuperuser
# let's checkout the tables in mysql now
# let's run django project
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
# hopefully it works
localhost:8000/admin
