Configuring Django and MariaDB on CentOS 7

Submitted by aknnn on Mon, 10/01/2018 - 01:07

This tutorial will demonstrate how to install Django and MariaDB on CentOS 7

Preferably inside virtual environment execute:
pip3 install django

MariaDB is needed (If you want, you can use mysql instead)
for this you need to enable MariaDB repos.

Inside /etc/yum.repos.d/ create file MariaDB.repo with contents:

[mariadb]
name = MariaDB
baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/10.3/centos7-amd64
gpgkey = http://yum.madiadb.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-MariaDB
gpgcheck = 1

Install required MariaDB packages:
yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client

django-admin startproject project_name
This will create a folder with the project_name to the current working directory.

install pymysql (Python MySQL connector)
pip3 install pymysql

Start MariaDB, login as root, create user, add database and add permissions to user (this user will be used to connect django to database):
systemctl enable mariadb <-- makes mariadb start at boot
systemctl start mariadb  <-- root user will be created, write your credentials down for later usage.
mysql -u root -p  <-- password will be prompted.

Now you should be logged in to mariadb shell as root user. Execute following commands:
CREATE DATABASE example_database;
CREATE USER 'example_username'@'localhost;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON example_database.* TO 'example_username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'example_password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Now you can quit mysql.

Edit project_name/project_name/__init__.py to include these lines:
import pymysql
pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()

Go to settings.py file in the same folder. Find DATABASES dictionary and edit it as follows:

DATABASES = {
    'default' : {
        'ENGINE'        : 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME'            : 'project_name',
        'USER'            : 'example_username',
        'PASSWORD' : 'example_password',
        'HOST'            : 'localhost',
        'PORT'            : '',
    }
}

If gods are in our side, you should be able to run:
python3 manage.py runserver
if that passes, you can try to visit your server port 8000 with a web browser
SERVER_IP:8000

if that doesn't go trough, theres probably something wrong with your firewall settings. Fix them and try again.
THX.

Can you suggest a good hosting provider at a honest price?

With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My
blog has a lot of unique content I've either written myself or outsourced but
it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement.
Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being
ripped off? I'd truly appreciate it.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something
that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very
broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the
hang of it!
