Get Started With Django
Deploy A Django Project
 
Ref (for html): HTML escape character

Start project “HelloWorld” and create App in the project named “pages”.

1. We use the command line prompt by running batch file (C:\Bitnami\djangostack-3.1.4-0\use_djangostack.bat),
   assuming that Bitnami Django Stack is installed in this folder.
   By running this batch file, we can create django project (or python program) in virtual environment
   (Bitnami Django Stack Environment; please see the related batch files for details i.e., use_djangostack.bat, setenv.bat)
   
2. Next, develop the django project in folder C:\Users\USER_NAME\Bitnami Django Stack projects\ (USER_NAME is your user name in your PC)
   C:\Users\USER_NAME\Bitnami Django Stack projects>mkdir HelloWorld && cd HelloWorld
C:\Users\USER_NAME\Bitnami Django Stack projects\HelloWorld>django-admin startproject config .
By running django-admin startproject config . with the period at the end, it will install in the current directory with the folder config.
3. Create folder conf inside the project folder (C:\Users\USER_NAME\Bitnami Django Stack projects\HelloWorld).
   Actually you can copy this folder from the sample project provided by Bitnami Django Stack.
   We can see the folder structure like this
   
   The details in these files are,
   C:\Users\USER_NAME\Bitnami Django Stack projects\HelloWorld\conf\httpd-app.conf
   <Directory "C:/Users/USER_NAME/Bitnami Django Stack projects/HelloWorld/config">
    Options +MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    <IfVersion < 2.3 >
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </IfVersion>
    <IfVersion >= 2.3>
        Require all granted
    </IfVersion>
 
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
Require all granted
 
</Directory>
 
Alias /HelloWorld/static "C:\Bitnami\djangostack-3.1.4-0\apps\django\Django-3.1.4-py3.7.egg/django/contrib/admin/static"
WSGIScriptAlias /HelloWorld 'C:/Users/USER_NAME/Bitnami Django Stack projects/HelloWorld/config/wsgi.py'

   C:\Users\USER_NAME\Bitnami Django Stack projects\HelloWorld\conf\httpd-prefix.conf
   # Include file
Include "C:/Users/USER_NAME/Bitnami Django Stack projects/HelloWorld/conf/httpd-app.conf"

   C:\Users\USER_NAME\Bitnami Django Stack projects\HelloWorld\conf\httpd-vhosts.conf
   <VirtualHost *:81>
    ServerName djangostack.example.com
    ServerAlias www.djangostack.example.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/Users/USER_NAME/Bitnami Django Stack projects/HelloWorld/config"
 
    Include "C:/Users/USER_NAME/Bitnami Django Stack projects/HelloWorld/conf/httpd-app.conf"
</VirtualHost>
 
<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName djangostack.example.com
    ServerAlias www.djangostack.example.com
    DocumentRoot "C:/Users/USER_NAME/Bitnami Django Stack projects/HelloWorld/config"
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile "C:/Users/USER_NAME/Bitnami Django Stack projects/HelloWorld/conf/certs/server.crt"
    SSLCertificateKeyFile "C:/Users/USER_NAME/Bitnami Django Stack projects/HelloWorld/conf/certs/server.key"
 
    Include "C:/Users/USER_NAME/Bitnami Django Stack projects/HelloWorld/conf/httpd-app.conf"
</VirtualHost>

4. Modify setting.py in the folder config of the project (add ‘127.0.0.1’ and ‘localhost’ to ALLOWED_HOSTS).
   C:\Users\USER_NAME\Bitnami Django Stack projects\HelloWorld\config\setting.py
   ...
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['127.0.0.1', 'localhost']
...

5. Add the line of include file httpd-prefix.conf lacation in bitnami-apps-prefix.conf,
   which is located in the installation folder (C:\Bitnami\djangostack-3.1.4-0\apache2\conf\bitnami\)
   C:\Bitnami\djangostack-3.1.4-0\apache2\conf\bitnami\bitnami-apps-prefix.conf
   ...
Include "C:/Users/USER_NAME/Bitnami Django Stack projects/HelloWorld/conf/httpd-prefix.conf"

6. Modify details in wsgi.py in the folder config of the project.
   C:\Users\USER_NAME\Bitnami Django Stack projects\HelloWorld\config\wsgi.py
   ...
import os, sys
sys.path.append('C:/Users/USER_NAME/Bitnami Django Stack projects/HelloWorld')
os.environ.setdefault("PYTHON_EGG_CACHE", "C:/Users/USER_NAME/Bitnami Django Stack projects/HelloWorld/egg_cache")
...

7. Almost done, just start the Apache Web Server by click the icon Bitnami Django Stack Manager Tool (run the manager-windows.exe).
8. Now, run the web browser and point the url to http://127.0.0.1:81/HelloWorld and you can see like this ↓
