Question

I’m trying to move website made in Django 1.3.

Server is set up as the privies one (I think so).

After Django installation, I moved all files to new server, I swap settings files so now in settings are files from the privies server. I changed files locations in setting, so right now all are pointed to sew server location.
Also some modules was missing which I install and I don’t get errors with missing django modules.

When I’m trying to set visible on internet, I get following errors:

[root@575283 somod]# python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
Traceback (most recent call last):

I’m guessing I missed MySQLdb module, any tips?

Also what bout other output lines?

Old server has Django 1.3
I’m using CentOS 6, Apache 2, Django 1.3.1, mod_wsgi, Python 2.6.6

You need to install MySQL-python. You can install it using pip:

sudo pip install MySQL-python

If you need help on how to run Django with Apache, see the official docs. If they are confusing, keep Googling.

Good luck 🙂
