I am new to django and i have a django 1.4 version project. i am trying to run it in django 1.8 environment. I'd like to upgrade my 1.4 project to 1.8 without rewriting the project.
If someone knows a way to do this please help me. I tried surfing for answers but couldn't find any.
There is no magic answer I am afraid.
You'll need to read the Django release notes for 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8, and make any appropriate changes to your code.
Django recently updated their release roadmap, which will make it easier to upgrade from the current LTS 1.8 to the next LTS 1.11.

Currently, the latest version of Django is 3.1. I'm not familiar with Django, so I looked for Django lectures, and there were many Django 2.X versions of lectures. Can I apply Django 2.X version lecture to the latest version of Django (3.1 version)?
We have an existing Django application which uses Django 1.11 and Python 3.6. For some security reasons I have been asked to use Python 3.7. I need to make the minimum changes possible. Do I need to upgrade Django as well? If so , is there any code changes required?
Thanks,
Python 3.7 compatibility was retrospectively added into the classifiers for Django v2.0 in this commit, even though v2.1 was already out. 1.11 was not included.
Discussion on Django tracker is here: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/28814
However, 1.11.x is LTS release series, so maybe if you're lucky that will still be added in a micro version upgrade at some later date.
Edit: Python 3.7 support was added in the micro version upgrade for Django 1.11.17 (2018-12-03, about 3 months after this question was originally asked)
According to this page on the Django docs, support for Python 3.7 was added in Django 1.11.17.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/faq/install/#what-python-version-can-i-use-with-django
"Django 1.11 requires Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, or 3.6. Django 1.11 is the first release to support Python 3.6. We highly recommend and only officially support the latest release of each series."
In the future, such questions are inevitably asked and answered in the Django docs.
I checked huey's documentation and searched online, but couldn't find version compatibility information of huey with django. Can someone please provide me this information?
The Huey docs say that it supports officially supported Django versions.
In May 2017, the officially supported Django versions are Django 1.8 LTS, Django 1.10 and Django 1.11.
I have to manually restart the server since I've updated from Django 1.6 to 1.8.6. Anyone have any idea why it's not restarting when changes are done to the code? not even if I change settings.py.
Also I'm using django-sslserver.
The issue was that django-sslserver is not up to date with Django 1.8 changes. So it's broken: Github Issue
I have a django project version 1.4 Is it possible to upgrade it to higher version so that it still works. Should I start the project again from scratch. Is so what are the steps? Is the a proper documentation of django for deployment of the project in windows.
You're right, the django migration is something not very documented.
In my opinion, the best thing you can do to be quick and secure, is:
Check all the major changes between Django 1.4 and 1.7 (look for changelog and Djang website).
Take a look to your code to be aware of what part will be obsolete after the migration.
Do the migration, in a non-critic environment of course. For this purpose, don't touch to your code first, just upgrade the Django version
Fix your code until it works perfectly (run unit tests if you have some).
You're ready to do the migration in a production environment.
I did it between Django 1.6 and Django 1.7 (and migrating from Python 2.x to 3.x in the same time). It was easier than I had imagined. However, Django 1.4 to 1.7 could be a little bit longer, but nothing hard.
