Documentation

You'll want to read through the Django documentation to get your bearings. As the appliance documentation states there's an example project at /var/www/django-sites/apps which you can try to learn from, but if you don't understand Django yet that may not be helpful.

Thx a lot, this helps very

Thx a lot, this helps very well. I've read many about Django these days so it wouldn't be hard to begin. :D

Apache configuration

You'll find the configuration in /etc/apache2/sites-available/django-sites.
Note that DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is set to apps.settings.
Hope this helps.

TBH I don't know but I would try using the DB name - no path

Something like this:

DATABASES = {
   'default' : {
          'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
          'NAME': 'tracker',
          'USER': 'django',
          'PASSWORD': 'passwd',
          'HOST': '',
          'PORT':'',
   }
}

AFAIK the full path only applies to when you use SQLite as your DB backend...

having problems setting up the database.

I setup a new database,  I call it "tracker".  I setup a user called "django" to manage all my Django databases.  I setup "Database Permissions" to all.   

In my settings file,   I have...  

DATABASES = {

   'default' : {

          'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',

          'NAME': '/var/lib/mysql/tracker',

          'USER': 'django',

          'PASSWORD': 'passwd',

          'HOST': '',

          'PORT':'',

   }

}

I verified that 'tracker' exists as a database,  but I didn't make any tables for it yet.   My first question,  do I have to create at least one table?    or when I type 'python manage.py syncdb',   I get the following...

/tracker# python manage.py syncdb

Regarding the inability to get into the admin panel (I assume this is the same subject) I expect this is because of the new Database declaration.  I expect the Admin is more hard wired than that (though I can't see in Admin where to define a new Database within Django.  Certainly can be done in MySQL but this won't nessicarily tie in with the App itself. 

I installed Django and had no problem getting in via Admin and also via Webshell.  I am using Firefox and Chrome both.  I have not tried on my android phone, just my Windows machine.

I doubt you will want to do Python coding with an IPAd but perhaps I am wrong.

There is not a "rich and creamy interface" with Django is there.  You noted you installed a Template?  I sure could use a Template vis a vis the back end.  What shows up in the Django Book sure looks better than what shows up on my first venture into the Django Admin page.  Seems a worthy project to get up to that level.

If you want to have a Django Ap show up instead of the Admin/WebShell/Webmin set of choices easiest is to do your configuring in Webmin - Apache.  Careful though.  Easy way also to break things.

I need to read the Django book.  Python is worth using, but it looks like.

Snowstorm.  About to have a power outage so I am going to sign off.
