Is there a function for generating settings.SECRET_KEY in django?
Note that this may not be safe to use for production, as S Ghosh is pointing out in a post below. But copy and paste this after running django-admin shell for example to quickly get a key. from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key get_random_secret_key()
Why is Django throwing error “DisallowedHost at /”?
In your settings.py, there is a list called ALLOWED_HOSTS. You need to add the IP address you see in the error to that list: ALLOWED_HOSTS = [‘XX.XX.XX.XX’] Note: only add the IP address, and not the port (e.g., 127.0.0.1 and not 127.0.0.1:8000) Explanation: Django checks the Host header of the HTTP request for a url/ip … Read more
Django – after login, redirect user to his custom page –> mysite.com/username
A simpler approach relies on redirection from the page LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL. The key thing to realize is that the user information is automatically included in the request. Suppose: LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = ‘/profiles/home’ and you have configured a urlpattern: (r’^profiles/home’, home), Then, all you need to write for the view home() is: from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect from django.urls … Read more

How to set-up a Django project with django-storages and Amazon S3, but with different folders for static files and media files?
I think the following should work, and be simpler than Mandx’s method, although it’s very similar: Create a s3utils.py file: from storages.backends.s3boto import S3BotoStorage StaticRootS3BotoStorage = lambda: S3BotoStorage(location=’static’) MediaRootS3BotoStorage = lambda: S3BotoStorage(location=’media’) Then in your settings.py: DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = ‘myproject.s3utils.MediaRootS3BotoStorage’ STATICFILES_STORAGE = ‘myproject.s3utils.StaticRootS3BotoStorage’ A different but related example (that I’ve actually tested) can be seen in … Read more

Is there any difference between django.conf.settings and import settings?
import settings Will import settings(.py) module of your Django project (if you are writing this code from the “root” package of your application, of course) from django.conf import settings Will import settings object from django.conf package (Django’s provided files). This is important, because [..] note that your code should not import from either global_settings or … Read more
