how to deploy / deployment django projects / appli

I would like to deplay a django application/project, which i have created within Aptana. It is a simple hello world. I can run the application locally and everything works fine, but how to deploy it to a webserver. The deploy button is grey and not working in the PyDev Perspective. If i switch to perspective "Web Perspective" i can download(check out from a specific path with password) django applications from a webserver, edit files, and upload again. I would like to use the functionality from the web perspective in my pydev perspective where i write my django code.

But when i create my own django project, the button deploy is grey.

This is now my solution to deploy django 1.3 with aptana to Apache Server:

Start Aptana, select PyDev Perspective (right corner) and just create a simple Django Project
Create a views.py ane a method index()

def index(request):
return HttpResponse("Hello world")

Edit your urls.py so that django can find the method index()
Run Sync DB (rightclick your project in PyDev Package Explorer, at bottom click Django, and click Sync DB). I am using here a local sqlite3 db
if everything work,s you will see within Aptana Console: Finished "/home/xy/workspace/test1/test1/manage.py syncdb" execution.
Now Run local your django app: rightclick your project on left side of aptana (PyDev Package Explorer) somewhere in the middle you can see RUN AS: 1 PyDev:Django
Now open your browser: http://127.0.0.1:8000/index or http://127.0.0.1:8000
U see now your "Hello World"

If this worked, now lets deploy to apache:

switch to Web Perspective (right corner of Aptana)
switch to App Explorer (left side of Aptana) IMPORTANT!!!!!
there is a little dropdown menu: select there your application (e.g. test1), BUT do not select any of the packages or modules inside of your project!!
you will see now your app and nothing is selected/clicked=> you see also a little box above!
click it and Run Web Deployment Wizard!!! if anything in your package is selected, you will not see "Run Web Deployment Wizard".... (strange)
Select SFTP Protocol; Fill out form
Remote Path: before you can select the directory you want to have your app uploaded, you should create it on the server
After you have selected the directory where you want to have your app deployed to server (ubuntu) you can again click on the little box and select deploy app
Now you get a new window SYNCHRONIZE
Your data/app have been now uploaded to server in the chosen directory
I use wsgi so i have to edit 2 files
the first one is a file called test1.wsgi in the wsgi directory

import os

import sys

path = "/home/username/"

if path not in sys.path: sys.path.append(path)

path = "/home/username/somedirectory/test1/test1/"

if path not in sys.path: sys.path.append(path)

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'

import django.core.handlers.wsgi application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

now go as sudo -s to cd /etc/apache2/conf.d/
create a file test1
write

WSGIScriptAlias /rofltest /home/username/wsgi/test1.wsgi

/rofltest means www.youraddress.org/rofltest will be the url
/home/username/wsgi/test1.wsgi means where to look for a file which will tell where to look for your django app on the server
restart apache (/etc/init.d/apache2 restart) and browse to www.youraddress.org//rofltest/index
You see Hello World or an error because you have to adjust the paths.
Start with settings.py and edit ROOT_URLCONF = 'test1.urls' maybe just to 'urls'
now it works :)

Try it, if it fails, write a comment and maybe i read it and help. If this helped, upvote it.

It doesnt work for me. Even when I extra care about not selecting the project in the App Explorer, the small "publish" icon is enabled, but the dropdown beside it is empty and nothing happens when I click it.

Actually there is a known bug when the Project root is a source folder, see https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/APSTUD-2543
