Django And Mongodb

Using Django with MongoDb (on MacOs X for dev)

Aug21'2010

• Django is already within my Pinax VirtualEnv

• install mongo into /usr/local/ - then cd into the mongo-db... subdirectory

• working off http://rezmuh.sixceedinc.com/2010/02/create-a-simple-app-with-django-and-mongodb-part-1.html

  • see previous http://rezmuh.sixceedinc.com/2010/02/basic-commands-to-get-you-started-with-mongodb.html

  • create mongoticket project and ticket app

  • create mongo db ticket with user/pw dummy...

    • mkdir -p /data/db/ then bin/mongod --fork --logpath ./mongodb.log --logappend

    • argh after > db.addUser('dummy, 'dummy') get just ... prompt (?)

      • ah, copied his typo missing a single-quote. Now good.

Aug26 - hmm, am I going to run into issues at Blue Host? Good, apparently not.

• also worth noting some common error messages.

Sept'2010 - decide this is a distraction, going to go back to straight Django.

• then consider mixing SQL and MongoDb - see Django page for notes

Sept27 - working just with MongoDb for now to get the data model I like...
