Django-Oscar / Django E-commerce

Our Django installation documentation and the Oscar official installation documentation outline the general process required to set up the Apache server and the oscar app.

You would start by installing the Django/Apache application in our control panel and than executing the commands from the Oscar docs within the new application directory via SSH.

I would use the virtualenv method in their docs like this,

easy_install-2.7 pip
pip install virtualenv
cd ~/webapps/<Name of Django application in control panel/
virtualenv venv
. ./venv/bin/activate
pip install django-oscar
django-admin.py startproject frobshop

Once the Oscar project directory is created you would copy the wsgi.py file from the default myproject directory and edit it from this to this,

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'myproject.settings'
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'frobshop.settings'

Than edit the apache httpd.conf file,

WSGIDaemonProcess oscar processes=2 threads=12 python-path=/home/<you>/webapps/oscar:/home/<you>/webapps/oscar/frobshop:/home/<you>/webapps/oscar/lib/python2.7:/home/<you>/webapps/oscar/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/

WSGIScriptAlias / /home/<you>/webapps/oscar/frobshop/wsgi.py

I used this method to get the base application they provide bound to Apache. The rest of the install doc covers database management and how to set up the URLs.
