Aha, just stumbled across an article explaining this. Also Django have info on their NewbieMistakes page. The solution is to make sure the directory containing the database file also has write access allowed to the process. In my case, running this command fixed the problem: sudo chown www-data .
You don’t. That’s the simple answer, anyway — you don’t need it. uWSGI is itself a capable server. However, other servers like nginx have been around longer and are (probably, anyway) more secure, as well as having additional features not supported by uWSGI — for example, improved handling of static resources (via any combination of … Read more
Overly simplified: You need something that executes Python but Python isn’t the best at handling all types of requests. [disclaimer: I’m a Gunicorn developer] Less simplified: Regardless of what app server you use (Gunicorn, mod_wsgi, mod_uwsgi, cherrypy) any sort of non-trivial deployment will have something upstream that will handle the requests that your Django app … Read more

If you don’t specify a related_name, Django automatically creates one using the name of your model with the suffix _set, for instance User.map_set.all(). If you do specify, e.g. related_name=maps on the User model, User.map_set will still work, but the User.maps. syntax is obviously a bit cleaner and less clunky; so for example, if you … Read more
