Comments on How To Install Django On Debian Etch (Apache2/mod_python)

I don't think it's useful to disable the local-only listening for MySQL, since you're not connecting from a remote host to the MySQL server.

The practice of doing what  the author said came from when networking was off and you it was therefore incompatible with django, so a lot of people just turned off security by habit.

 Being bound to 127.0.0.1 and the socket should work just fine, unless you have a separate database server.

Thanks a lot man, it works perfectly following your instructions!

Great tutorial, super easy and super clear. How about one on alternatives to mod python? 

I've tried everything and nothing work for me, this was the best, now my Django project is working with Apache.

THANKS

Yeah!

Great!

Thanks I have followed your instruction installing on my Debian Squeeze. Its working. You're a great help. More power to you.

My setting.py reads: 

DATABASES = {
    'default': {                                                                                                                                        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
       'NAME': '',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': '',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': '',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': '',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
   }
}
