I have used the Bitnami Djangostack before but I am not sure if this creates some type of virtualenv or what is the underlying mechanism on how it works or how it is put together.
Bitnami stacks are self-contained. In the /opt/bitnami/ folder you can find the most important assets to have a running Django application (from https://docs.bitnami.com/installer/infrastructure/django/)
Python language
Django framework
Apache Web server
MySQL database server (optional)
PostgreSQL database server (optional)
GeoDjango and PostGIS
Mod_wsgi

I started developing a django webapp which will need to connect to oracle databases. But using oracle with django requires an Oracle client if I'm not mistaken which is platform dependant. If it's not possible to create a portable webapp with django and oracle, could the app use an oracle client install on the machine where the app is running?
Thanks
What do you mean by "portable" exactly ? You can definitely move your Django folder around, especially if you use SQLite for database storage, since a SQLite database is just a file.
All you'll need is Python on the target machine, access to the command line and the ability to install your dependencies with pip.
Then you can just run your webapp with python manage.py runserver.
If this doesn't answer your question, please give more info.
I have developed django project on my computer. I used virtuelenv and installed all libraries and packages there. I also have postgreSQL database on my computer. How could I deploy my existing server with all files and libraries, my postgreSQL database with all tables and all rows to digitalocean. I only found tutorials on how to create new django projects on digitalocean.
Actually there is plenty of tutorials and documentation for doing this.

In the other hand you only have to migrate your data base from your computer to your new server. Maybe you should check this
I want to deploy my django app on heroku , which I have built on Windows machine.
Can I deploy the same application using heroku toolbelt for windows.
Or I have to setup all the things on a unix machine.
And one more thing the application uses Python 3 and Django 1.8
Will that be any problem.
There aren't any special process listed in the docs for windows usersYou should actually deploy from a unix environment, you have to create your Procfile, requirements.txt and make some changes to your settings.py file, it's easy and straight forward.
A step by step guide can be found here https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-django
Some problems you may encouter:
Internal Server Error heroku/django
Django migrations fail in heroku
Also make sure you add your migrations and cache folders to your .gitignore file.
I'm trying to deploy my Django app to Google App Engine (GAE) as per this document. I created and configured a Google Cloud SQL instance, as described in that document. I use PyCharm as development environment and created a GAE project with Django support.
I configured a local server to point to the GAE server. When I try to launch the GAE local server in PyCharm, it's raising exceptions on an improperly configured database in SETTINGS.PY:
google.appengine.ext.django.backends.rdbms' isn't an available database backend
I can see from the stack trace that the local server is using the Django version in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages while I presume it should use the one in /usr/local/google_appengine/lib.
What would be the best way to solve this given that I have other Django projects as well that should use the Django version in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages? If I modify my PYTHONPATH to include the GAE version of Django, would not all my projects be referencing that version of Django?
EDIT: To be more precise, the GAE local server starts just fine but throws the mentioned stack trace when I do a syncdb task to update my database.
EDIT 2: In PyCharm Settings under Python Interpreter, I found the possibility to modify paths and added the Django 1.4 version as distributed with GAE SDK. When I start the GAE development server, I can actually see it uses the Django version from the GAE SDK but it still crashes on the database definitions:
Error was: No module named google.appengine.ext.django.backends.rdbms.base
EDIT 3: I ran into problems when trying to deploy an existing Django app using the tutorial. See this separate question.
Looks like PyCharms call of syncdb is using the wrong Django installation.
google.appengine.ext.django.backends.rdbms is not part of the official Django distribution, but it is part of GAEs django.
My GAE django is in /usr/local/google_appengine/lib/
If you're on linux/OS X you could add this to your .bashrc/.bash_profile and make syncdb use this:
export GAE="/usr/local/google_appengine"
export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:$GAE:$GAE/lib/django_1_4"
export PATH=${PATH}:$GAE/lib/django_1_4/django/bin/
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin
I wrote a tutorial about using Django with GAE and Google Cloud SQL. There might be some relevant infos there as well.
I've got a ubuntu vps and apache mod wsgi installed and serving my django sites.
however i have to restart all of apache rather than the site i have amended and its going to be a bit shonky if i tell clients that i have restarted their site cos i updated another site.
is there a tutorial somewhere to teach me how to configure this? i couldnt find one in googles keywords soup.
I'm already using virtualenvs if it helps.
Assuming you use mod_wsgi in daemon mode on UNIX/Apache 2.X system to run Django and have shell access to your machine all you need to do is touch the wsgi configuration for your project.
touch your_project.wsgi
See mod_wsgi documentation on Reloading Source Code and Django - mod_wsgi wiki for more references.
