[solved] Trying to install Pinax

[MarkGrieveson]

Hello.  This is an issue carried over from here.

I have been trying to install Pinax, using the instructions from this site.  At the Running a Project step, specifically running the command "python manage.py runserver", the server does run:

Code:

mark:$ python manage.py runserver
Validating models...

0 errors found
Django version 1.4.1, using settings 'mysite.settings'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

But, when I check the site, I am told of the following error:

Code:

ImproperlyConfigured at /

I haven't a clue how to fix this.

[MarkGrieveson]

Okay, I found a site that said I could fix it if I did the following:

Just change (within settings.py):

django.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source
TO
django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader

I did this, and the "improperly configured" error seems to have gone, which is good.  But, now it says "Template does not exist".  Anyone know where I can find these templates?

Hi Mark,

The templates are in the "<project_root>/templates" directory.
Its weird that Pinax cant find them, and I have problems trying to reproduce the error.

[rbistolfi]

Hmm I think the fix for the first problem caused problems finding the templates. If you check the paths listed after "Django tried loading these templates, in this order", the proper path was being looked up in the first case but not in the second.

Hi Mark,

The templates are in the "<project_root>/templates" directory.

Hi rbistolfi,

I'm not sure why this is giving me so many problems.  There's the virtual environment (mysite-env) and the project (mysite).  It seems to be searching the virtual environment (mysite-env) rather than the project (mysite) for the homepage template. 

Code:

(mysite-env)vector://media/Extra/mysite
mark:$ cd templates
(mysite-env)vector://media/Extra/mysite/templates
mark:$ ls
_footer.html  homepage.html  site_base.html
(mysite-env)vector://media/Extra/mysite/templates
mark:$

There are templates in the virtual environment, but not a homepage.html template.  For instance:

Code:

(mysite-env)vector://media/Extra/mysite-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin
mark:$ cd templates
(mysite-env)vector://media/Extra/mysite-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates
mark:$ ls
admin/  registration/
(mysite-env)vector://media/Extra/mysite-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates
mark:$ ls
admin/  registration/
(mysite-env)vector://media/Extra/mysite-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates
mark:$ cd admin
(mysite-env)vector://media/Extra/mysite-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin
mark:$ ls
404.html                  delete_selected_confirmation.html
500.html                  edit_inline/
actions.html              filter.html
app_index.html            includes/
auth/                     index.html
base.html                 invalid_setup.html
base_site.html            login.html

delete_confirmation.html  submit_line.html
(mysite-env)vector://media/Extra/mysite-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin
mark:$

I'm not sure how to get it to search in the correct area.

[MarkGrieveson]

I think I fixed the template issue!!  From the site where I got the first fix, I had only changed the directories loader, but not the filesystem loader within the settings.py file.  So, when I also changed the filesystem loader, it seemed to work.

Code:

TEMPLATE_LOADERS = [
     "django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader",
#    "django.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source",
#    "django.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source",
     "django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader",
]

That looks like a working pinax install indeed
There is a ton of addons and stuff to customize it.
Have fun and keep us informed!

[MarkGrieveson]

Thanks.  Admittedly, now that it's installed, I haven't a clue what to do with it.
