Re: LAMPP + Django on Fedora 13 Linux

I think you're maybe a bit confused about what exactly LAMPP provides.

If you're going to use phpmyadmin, you might want to re-think going
for Django in the first place. Django provides a much more tailored
admin interface than phpmyadmin will give you (although the latter is
great for custom SQL, etc.)

Django can use any MySQL DB and providing that when LAMPP starts the
mysql server it will accept connections from the python mysql driver
(and I see no reason for it not to), it should be as simple as making
sure you have the driver installed and specify mysql in the setting
file.

To be honest, I'd throw LAMPP away and install mysql properly (or even
postgres). LAMPP is great for getting started, but I don't think it's
a great idea to mix it with Django.

You will also find that it is not recommended to run python and php
projects together in Apache due to the greatly different memory
profiles.
