Installing Pinax 0.7 on CentOS

So Easy!

Here is the complete list of commands I used to install in a pinax directory of /home

easy_install virtualenv
easy_install pip
cd /home
mkdir pinax
cd pinax
curl -o pinax-boot.py http://github.com/pinax/pinax/raw/master/scripts/pinax-boot.py
python pinax-boot.py pinax-env
cd pinax-env
source bin/activate
pip install --requirement src/pinax/requirements/external_apps.txt
cd /home/pinax/pinax-env/src/pinax/pinax/projects
pinax-admin clone_project basic_project myproject
cd myproject

amend settings.py to point to required database - I'm using mysql
setup mysql database
python manage.py syndb
python manage.py runserver

DONE!

Playing with Django and Pinax - Mac OSX/MySQL

Installing Django - just followed instructions on django site http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/install/

Then ran through the tutorials

Then installed pinax using svn command here http://code.google.com/p/django-hotclub/source/checkout

Tried synchdb but didn't have PIL installed so got a load of errors.

Didn't have PIL so followed instructions here: http://www.p16blog.com/p16/2008/05/appengine-installing-pil-on-os-x-1053.html

setup data tables using
python ./manage.py syncdb

Wanted to use mysql - so installed ez_install
- downloaded egg here http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
- ran: sh setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg

easy_install mysql-python


Then started mysql and created a new database and changed settings.py to use mysql and point to new database.

now syncdb again and tables created in mysql!
run: ./manage.py runserver
and pinax app available at http://127.0.0.1:8000

Wow!
