# Configure your app

h2. Configure your app
h3. WSGI
* Ensure that there is _projectname_/wsgi.py in your project root
h3. Database
Add the following to your settings.py:
<pre>
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'app',
}
}
</pre>
h3. Static and media files
Static files should be place in */home/app/app/static* and media files in */home/app/app/media*.
h2. Deploy
You can login to your VM as user *app* (for the django app) and *root* (in case you need to change settings):
<pre>
ssh app@MYHOSTNAME
</pre>
* Deploy / update your app into the folder *~app/app* (that is the app folder in the home of the user app)
* We recommended to use git to deploy it
h2. Install python requirements into the pyvenv
Pyvenv has been installed to *~app/pyvenv* for you.
Required packages for the hosting like PostgreSQL support and uwsgi support have already been placed.
You need to use pyvenv found in *~app/pyvenv*, as uwsgi loads this pyvenv before loading your app.
To install your requirements use:
<pre>
. ~/pyvenv/bin/activate
pip install ...
</pre>
h2. Restarting the app
* *sudo systemctl restart uwsgi*
h3. Viewing logfiles
* nginx access log: *tail -F /var/log/nginx/access.log*
* nginx error log: *tail -F /var/log/nginx/error.log*
* uwsgi log: *tail -F /var/log/uwsgi/app/app.log*
