Media Server

Earlier in the control panel you created a static media server application. It's time copy the media files over and create symbolic links to the admin and Pinax media:
- $ cd ~/webapps/static $ cp -R ~/webapps/pinax07server/myproject/media/* ./ $ ln -sd ~/webapps/pinax07server/pinax-env/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Django-1.0.2_final-py2.5.egg/django/contrib/admin/media admin $ ln -sd ~/webapps/pinax07server/pinax-env/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Pinax-0.7beta2-py2.5.egg/pinax/media/default/pinax pinax

    * Create a "mod_wsgi 2.0/Python 2.5" app rather than a Django one as Pinax will provide Django.
    * Download Pinax 0.7 and untar
    * run python2.5 scripts/pinax-boot.py <webfaction-app-directory>/pinax-env (e.g. pinax-env should be in same dir as apache2, etc
    * (you can now remove the tarball and expanded dir)
    * put your django/pinax project in the same directory as apache2 and pinax-env

In other words, your webfaction app directory (under webapps) should look something like this:

    webapps/
        my_webfaction_app/
            apache2/
            bin/
            htdocs/
            lib/
            my_pinax_project/
            pinax-env/

    * activate your environment with source pinax-env/bin/activate
    * at this point syncdb should work as should runserver

    * edit apache2/conf/httpd.conf, remove the directory directive and add the lines:

WSGIPythonPath /home/<user>/webapps/<my_webfaction_app>/pinax-env/lib/python2.5/site-packages/
WSGIScriptAlias / /home/<user>/webapps/<my_webfaction_app>/<my_pinax_project>/deploy/pinax.wsgi

Media Server

    $ cd ~/webapps/static

    $ cp -R ~/webapps/pinax07server/myproject/media/* ./

    $ ln -sd ~/webapps/pinax07server/pinax-env/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Django-1.0.2_final-py2.5.egg/django/contrib/admin/media admin

    $ ln -sd ~/webapps/pinax07server/pinax-env/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Pinax-0.7beta2-py2.5.egg/pinax/media/default/pinax pinax
