first mysite project

Basic Idea :

Create folder for our project. /website
Create python virtual environment inside /website folder. env.
Activate python virtual environment.
Install django
Add MariaDB compatible lines inside setting.py. and we will add our database credentials.
Run migrate
Start project

---

Create Folder for our project. mysite under /website folder
# mkdir -p /website/mysite

Go to mysite Folder.
# cd /website/mysite

Create Python Virtual Environment with python version 3.8. Useing -p to target python version. env is our environment name.
# virtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python3.8 env

Now our Virtual environment is ready.

Lets Activate Environment.
# source env/bin/activate NOTE: We already inside website folder.

Now install django through pip installer in virtual environment.
# pip install django

We can check installed apps and versions inside python environment through below command.
# pip list

Create first django project.
# django-admin startproject mysite

Now Edit mysite/settings.py file to change sqlit3 to mysql database.
Default sqlit3 lines as below.

DATABASES = {
‘default’: {
‘ENGINE’: ‘django.db.backends.sqlite3’,
‘NAME’: os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ‘db.sqlite3’),
}
}

Replace with below lines.

DATABASES = {
‘default’: {
‘ENGINE’: ‘django.db.backends.mysql’,
‘NAME’: ‘mysite‘,
‘USER’: ‘root‘,
‘PASSWORD’: ‘root123‘,
‘HOST’: ‘localhost’,
‘PORT’: ”,
}
}

As per above lines, we mention User as root, Password as root123, database as mysite.

Now Run Migrate Command.
# python manage.py migrate

Now start Django application.
# python manage.py runserver 192.168.0.185:8000 (We can add ip address. or localhost )
OR
# python manage.py runserver localhost:8000

---

Now Open ipaddress or localhost with 8000 port number in any Browser.
