It's not the same as I see in my tutorial so I'm quite confused on how to access them
EDIT: I want to access apache but there is no folder that shows apache in my image

Before anyone deletes this due to the question being similar to others: Neither other questions nor the documentation got my site to work as intended.
The goal: Load images on my site
The problem: Image not found
Additional info: It works locally using python manage.py runserver
What I've done to try to fix it:
I've tried to follow the staticfiles guide https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/DjangoStaticFiles but this didn't work because I'm not using the default uploaded files handling.
I've tried to enter it under the PythonAnywhere > Web > static files tab but haven't been able to get that to work.
Tried a bunch of different solutions from the PythonAnywhere forum and SO forum and none got my site to work.
The site: http://nasablogdeployment.eu.pythonanywhere.com/
All code available here: https://github.com/MarkdenToom/NASA-blog
Static files directories here: https://imgur.com/xL0RN8A
WSGI file content: https://imgur.com/dJY4knp
Your web app is looking for the picture in http://nasablogdeployment.eu.pythonanywhere.com/blog/media/thumbnails/Touchdown_Expedition_62_Returns_to_Earth_Completes_Station_Mission.jpg while your current mapping resolves into url like that: http://nasablogdeployment.eu.pythonanywhere.com/media/thumbnails/Touchdown_Expedition_62_Returns_to_Earth_Completes_Station_Mission.jpg
Change your static files mapping so the /blog/media/ points to /home/nasablogdeployment/NASA-blog/blog/media/
It is my first time trying to get a Django application live on the net but I am having an issue with the URls.
The working local URL of my application is
http://localhost:8000/surveythree/ - This works as expected.
However when I upload my project to my hosting account I cant seem to locate the relevant page using the shortened URL as provided by the URLconf, in this case it should be /surveythree/
url(r'^surveythree/$', SurveyWizard.as_view([SurveyForm1, SurveyForm2, SurveyForm3, SurveyForm4, SurveyForm5])),
I can locate the page if I use the full filepath however.
http://www.mywebsite.com/bias_experiment/src/survey/templates/formtools/wizard/wizard_form.html
I thought the benefit of the URLconf was to shorten the URL to something like one of the following
http://www.mywebsite.com/bias_experiment/surveythree/
http://www.mywebsite.com/bias_experiment/src/surveythree/
http://www.mywebsite.com/bias_experiment/src/survey/surveythree/
Is there something simple that I am missing here? If anyone could tell me what the shortened URL should be based on the above it would be great. I have been trying multiple combinations for a while now but I don't know if I am going around in circles or doing it wrong.
Thanks in advance.
It doesn't look like you have actually deployed your site with a proper server. You can't just upload the files to any webserver and expect then to run: you need to configure a wsgi server and connect it to your app.
The documentation is here but to be honest I'd be amazed if your college server supported it at all, if all you have is a shared folder. You may be able to get it to work with FastCGI, but I wouldn't hold out a whole lot of hope.
(And even though you say that going to that long URL "works", I'd guarantee that all you're seeing is the raw HTML template. There's no way that any actual dynamic functionality will be working like that, as you'd see if you actually tried to submit the form at that URL.)
Deploying Django apps is much more complicated. To run in more "production" environment you will need to configure:
virtualenv to keep pip modules which your app required separate from global environment.
nginx for hosting static files ( you can copy them to some folder with ./manage.py collectstatic.
WSGI server: uWSGI or Gunicorn are both nice choices.
supervisor: for running and restarting WSGI and any other apps (for example celery) running in background
It's a lot for a start, so it's good to follow some tutorial and use ready to use config snippets.
I have a fuel php application created by one of my friend.Now I want to run it on aws EC2 instance(ubuntu).I can run the application using apache2 and its index page is loading.After facebook connect from index page it is supposed to show my fb friends list. But it is showing a 404 error POST http://ec2xxxxcompute.amazonaws.com/ajax/auth/facebook not found
I can see a get_facebook() method inside controller(/ajax/auth.php).But it is not catching the method.My top level understanding is i need some url mapping in server level.
Can anyone help me to run the app.Any suggestion will be highly appreciated as a biginner
Are any other URL's loading, or only the index page? If that is the case, it might be a rewriting issue.
Is the default .htaccess file still included in the /public folder? Or did your friend change it?
You may not actually be calling your php code at all. Don't you need something like :
http://ec2xxxxcompute.amazonaws.com/ajax/auth.php/facebook
I want to have an offline website (no intention to make it available outside the LAN), to handle several pictures in my user picture folder (and they have to stay where they are), but the thing is that I dont know if I can access them from WAMP, as it's outside the folder hierarchy.
Also thought about another solution that maybe exists some webserver for PHP, like what SQLite is for SQL, lightweight standalone program that doesn't need any installation, and that can be placed anywhere.
Thanks in advance,
any help would be very apreciated :)
There's a few ways to can go about this:
Use Mod_Rewrite to direct URLs from something like '/pictures' to the location of the pictures, see
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/remapping.html
Change the document root of the apache server in httpd.conf to the location of the pictures (probably not what you want)
Add another virtual server to apache and set its document root to the location of the pictures
(again, probably not what you want but thought I'd suggest it)
Add a symbolic link, not quite sure how it would work (if at all) in Windows but again, something you can look at
My Apache (mod_wsgi) Django app only lists the files of my website/project instead of the actual running website/application. My guess is that it's mod_wsgi that is the culprit but I'm not really sure. What are some of the causes of this?
Don't put your Django site code in a directory Apache can serve up. Right now if I knew the actual site host name, I could get down your Django settings file and get access to your database password information.
Anyway, ensure you have gone and set up a basic WSGI hello world program before you attempt to get Django working under mod_wsgi. In doing this, ensure you use the official mod_wsgi documentation and not some arbitrary persons blog post. As such, go read:
http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/QuickInstallationGuide
http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/QuickConfigurationGuide
Also go watch the video presentation at:
http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/WhereToGetHelp?tm=6#Conference_Presentations
as it steps you through basic configuration as well as what to do for Django. It covers all the basic things that people do wrong.
If you still can't get it to work, then heed the comments in:
