I've been through the tutorial pages (which are great!) and managed to get all
that working without any fuss. I'm contemplating using Django for my
company's website since I could integrate a few applications so that others
can post job openings, and do some other miscellaneous things. I decided it
would be best to start with a real world example though. :-) So I tried
getting the djangoproject.com site up and running on my machine. It runs,
but unfortunately, it complains that it can't find any pages. Not the
weblog, not the main page, nothing. I did go through and edit all the
settings to point the appropriate directories to valid locations on my
machine. Can anyone help me get up and running with the djangoproject.com
site? I'm sure I'm just missing a step or doing something stupid. I'd love
to evaluate the djangoproject.com, since it's size and simplicity wouldn't be
far off from what our site would look like. I'd really like to understand
how a real world site, using Django, is going to function on our equipment.

I should mention that at the moment I'm using django-admin.py's runserver to
run the site. I just want to make sure I get all the configuration settings
correct before I attempt to do the full up Apache 2 config.

Thanks!

i seriously doubt whether you could run the site with runserver -
try it with the full apache2 config

What kind of error messages are you getting, if any?Did you try following the tutorials before you started trying to usethe djangoproject code?Can you post your urls.py?

I'm guessing the pages are stored in the database. Do you have a copy
of the djangoproject.com DB? I wouldn't have thought it was publicly
available.

I haven't gone back and checked, but I think that's part of my problem. :-)
I've got no data. I'll try putting some in.

I don't see why not. The apps themselves aren't big, and isn't it the purpose
of runserver to help do development and testing? I think my problem is what
Luke mentioned: a lack of data.

Yeah, I poked around in the djangoproject.com code when I was first
starting out and trying to get a feel for how it worked, and found
that some things are flat pages in the DB; you'll need to create some
"filler" flat pages to really be able to try it out.

Also, note that the templates used on the djangoproject.com site are
copyrighted.

<this is a personal opinion>
I feel that runserver is only meant for people to evaluate django.
Once they see the automatic admin interface and decide to proceed
further it makes no sense to use runserver as development should
always be in the same environment as production
