Django and the Twitter Bootstrap offers the ultimate environment for web development for multiple devices.
Create the project.
[codesyntax lang=”bash”]
django-admin startproject yourAppName
[/codesyntax]
Allow the appropriate access by updating the following in settings.py file.
[codesyntax lang=”bash”]
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['109.203.114.78', 'localhost', 'archbrooks.us']
[/codesyntax]
Now configure the desired database. Special imports are required for MySQL.
[codesyntax lang=”php”]
import pymysql pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()
[/codesyntax]
Now include the database configuration parameters.
[codesyntax lang=”php”]
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'YourDB',
'USER' : 'YourUser',
'PASSWORD' : 'Password',
'HOSTS' : '',
'PORT' : '',
}
}
[/codesyntax]
At this point I would start the server to check for errors.
[codesyntax lang=”php”]
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
[/codesyntax]
The next step is to install the Twitter Bootstrap.
[codesyntax lang=”php”]
pip install django-twitter-bootstrap
[/codesyntax]
The following is generated after sucessful install of bootstrap.
[codesyntax lang=”php”]
Enter root@server:~/django/nws# pip install django-twitter-bootstrap

[/codesyntax]
Now create the first application of the site.
[codesyntax lang=”php”]
django-admin startapp myapp
[/codesyntax]
At this point I would start the server to check for errors.
[codesyntax lang=”php”]
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
[/codesyntax]
If no errors were reported you are now ready to activate the first page of your site.
Modify the urls.py file for the application to reflect the following:
[codesyntax lang=”php”]
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from mws import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
]
