Comments on: VMware + Ubuntu + mod_python + Apache + Django = FUCKING NAY http://www.chrominance.net/2007/03/vmware-ubuntu-mod_python-apache-django-fucking-nay/ Tue, 01 Apr 2008 13:07:56 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: chrominance » Django + Unicode + MySQL = 4724 http://www.chrominance.net/2007/03/vmware-ubuntu-mod_python-apache-django-fucking-nay/comment-page-1/#comment-7238 chrominance » Django + Unicode + MySQL = 4724 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 07:49:49 +0000 http://www.chrominance.net/2007/03/vmware-ubuntu-mod_python-apache-django-fucking-nay/#comment-7238 [...] I don’t blame you if you don’t see the punchline coming: the version check patch is what caused my last stretch of problems when setting up my dev server. So it turns out I might want revision 4724 after all, for more proper Unicode handling with MySQL. It hasn’t been a problem yet (the db seems to be storing my smart quotes just fine even though they’re technically Unicode) but if it becomes a problem… er, do I cue Alanis Morrissette yet?

Really I chalk up my troubles to a complete lack of experience with pretty much every piece of software I was trying to install (up until now I've basically been doing development on a XAMPP server, which is as easy as these things get). My experience with a bash shell can be measured in hours, and I've never had to manage an Apache install on a Linux server before. Aside from the mysql change and the mod_python stuff (which admittedly took a very long time, but isn't so much a Django issue anyways), very little time was spent configuring Django; it was everything else that was going wrong. And in any case, development version is development version. I just got bit in the ass with the 4724 revision. Now that I've slept on it I feel better about the whole thing.

Believe it or not, we Django developers want to make sure installation is as smooth as possible, but we can't control every environment. We're doing the best we can, though. Glad to hear you're up and running. Sorry you had trouble with the Django setup.
