Setup Django with MySQL on CentOS 7

Django is popular Web framework for writing web applications. With django you can built faster and scalable applications, without writing the code from scratch (without reinventing the wheel). Web framework were design to aid programmer to create applications. These web framework are the core and takes care of functionalities like user session managemet, database connectivity etc.

CentOS 7 still have Python 2.7 as the default tool. EPEL repository comes up with Python 3. Thanks to EPEL repo. Here’s the way to setup Python 3 on CentOS environment.

Install python34:

[root@wace ~]# yum install python34 python34-devel python34-setuptools
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Install MySQL Server:

MySQL is the most popular database management system used for powering web applications. MariaDB becomes the default database and MySQL is no longer available in CentOS 7. MariaDB is a drop in replacement for MySQL. In order to install MySQL, we have to install MySQL repository from mysql.com site.

Adding MySQL 5.7 repo to CentOS.

Upon Success, you will get the bellow message.

It worked!
Congratulations on your first Django-powered page.

Currently, django back-end is sqlite. Now, changing django backend to MySQL.

(env_mysite) [root@wace mysite]# vim mysite/settings.py

#DATABASES = {
#    'default': {
#        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
#        'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
#    }
#}
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'djcms',
        'USER': 'udjcms',
        'PASSWORD': 'P@55w0rD',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '3306',
    }
}

After that check and migrate metadata to MySQL and start the server.
