                Setting up Django/Google App Engine on a dev server
              
          

        

      

        

  

      

    
Run Django / Google App Engine on local dev server


Hopefully these instructions are useful to some Googler in the future.


    

  1. Install Python. Python comes with OSX. Test by typing python in terminal. If it opens a python shell, you're good to go.
    2. 

  2. Install pip. easy_install pip works on OSX. This should add symlinks and add the executable to $PATH also. Technically you don't need to install pip though because every virtualenv environment comes with pip. It's easier to install virtualenv with pip though. Haven't tried easy_install virtualenv.
    3. 

  3. Install virtualenv. Run pip install virtualenv. You may need to add the install directory to $PATH.
    4. 

  4. Install Google AppEngine SDK from here. Drag to Applications folder. Launch it, make sure it creates symlinks. Add the google_appengine directory to the $PYTHONPATH environment variable.
    5. 

  5. Navigate to your project directory. There
    6.

I can never get Rails to connect to the Postgres server in development. I'll write a fuller tutorial that explains things better later, but I can explain some really basic things first.


The issue is that osx is looking for the server socket in a default location and postgres is putting the client in a default location. Those locations are not the same.


Postgres puts the socket in /var/pgsql_socket. Or at least that is where mine is at the moment. This is configurable in a postgres.conf file. You can do a global search for this file in terminal by running sudo find / -name postgres.conf. In that file look for the line that says unix_socket_directory. You could probably edit that and tell postgres to put the socket somewhere else, but more on that later.


The client, in this case Rails, needs to know where to look for the socket. When I started my Rails server, it would crash saying it couldn't find the socket file in /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432. So now at least I know where Rails is looking by default. I
