1. better  search engine

- many different opinions on this, but it looks that dedicated IP seems to be helpful for search engine result

2. SSL support

- e-commerce website needs SSL which requires a unique IP address.

One note is that webfaction.com does not provide dedicated IP but private IP address.

Private IP address is a bit different from dedicated IP.

If you typed http://64.233.187.99/ into your web browsers address bar you would see Goggle’s web site come up. This is their dedicated IP address and no one else’s.

Private IP address does not support the above (#1) but it can support SSL (#2).

For my new project, I just started to search for web hosting service and finally decided to go with Webfaction.

The major concern I had in choosing webfaction was limited disk space and bandwidth.

However, I realized that anyway my website will have low traffic and need less amount of disk space in the beginning.

The positive perspectives were

1.  many positive reviews and happy customers

2. the most django-friendly service, easy setup and they can also support mod_python (most other sites seem to support fastcgi only)

3. it has subversion support

This is beginning and I don’t know much about running the website. But let’s see how it works out!

portable python

portableapps.com has many interesting apps:

1. commandprompt portable

2. notepad++ portable

3. sumatrapdf portable

4. putty portable

5. winscp portable

etc.

After installing portablepython

execute

SPE-Portable.exe

open manage.py

and run (F9) with argument “runserver”

In settings.py
EMAIL_HOST = ‘localhost’
EMAIL_PORT = 1025
EMAIL_HOST_USER = ”
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = ”
EMAIL_USE_TLS = False
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = ‘testing@example.com’

2. Execute

$python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:1025

Nothin will happen until you send email.

3.

$python manage.py shell

>>>from django.core.mail send_mail

>>>send_mail(‘subject’, ‘body’,'from@example.com’,['youremail@gmail.com'])

This will display the mail.

contrib/comments/templates/comments

into your default template directory.

Change your template files. Template loader will find files first at your default template directory.

import datetime

—-

from biz.models import Entry, City, Category

class CityAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = (‘name’)
admin.site.register(City, CityAdmin)

———

to fix,

list_display = (‘name’,)

urlpatterns = patterns(’mysite.bizcard.views’,
(r’^about$’, views.simple, {‘template_name’:'about.html’}),
(r’^help/$’, views.simple, {‘template_name’:'help.html’}),

)

In views.py

def simple(request, template_name):

return render_to_response(template_name, {‘book_list’:Book.objects.all()})

——–

Note here that single view function can render multiple template files.
