Re: Django deployment

I'm having trouble deciphering what a APPMODULE is: $(MODULE_NAME):$(VARIABLE_NAME)

What does Module_Name and Variable_NAME refer to in the context of a Django project named "stats"?

Thanks

Who says this? And what are the reasons they give for it?

I can tell you how I do it, which is not necessarily the simplest way nor especially suited to low traffic. But it's not that hard. On the server machine, I install nginx, gunicorn, django and supervisor. Nginx will be the frontend, gunicorn will be the webserver, django is the application server, and supervisor will be used to start/stop/restart the web application.

I basically did the same as Shawn. In my supervisord.conf I have these lines:

  [program:myapp]
  command=/usr/local/bin/gunicorn myapp.wsgi -b 127.0.0.1:9999
  directory=/wwwapp/myapp/my
  environment=PATH="%(ENV_PATH)s:/usr/local/bin"
  user=root
  autostart=true
  autorestart=true
  stdout_logfile=NONE
  stderr_logfile=NONE

I also wrote a blog article about this subject: http://www.michielovertoom.com/freebsd/flask-gunicorn-nginx-supervisord/ which uses Flask as an example, but as Shawn said, it's easy to plug in your Django app instead.
