We have not been good at keeping the website up to date. I've added member syndication to the site to help it smell fresh. http://www.omahapython.org/blog/ If you post about Python on your own blog, you can have it syndicated on the group website. Kind of like a miniature PlanetPython but localized to just us. http://www.omahapython.org/blog/ Email the list to have your blog included. Make sure and send an rss feed link that filters your posts to relevant python related material. Doesn't have to be pure python, just related. (i.e. angular used with django) Also, it would be nice to get another couple or so individuals who would act as editors. Steve and I have been doing it for quite a while and having fresh blood is always good. Want to change something on or about the group site -- step up. I've been updating some of my open source projects recently. Moving from svn on google code to mercurial on bitbucket. (yah, yah github -- but I don't want to contribute to this dangerous mono-culture based on a cult of personality.) Anyway, most of my recent posts have dealt with dealing with distributing your projects on pypi, continuous integration and testing. So even if you don't have a blog, or want to be an editor, we accept contributor articles -- we all have stories to tell, why don't you tell yours?

Store the user supplied name in the db. i.e. \you\storage\for\user\images\1.jpg Image(pk=1, type='image/jpeg', uname='My Cute Kittens: the cuddlies.jpg', ...) after they upload, you'll need to qc the image and determine it's type, size (h x w), bytes then if it passes your tests, make a record, save the meta info about the image, move/rename the image to its final home. i.e. \quarantine\My\ Cute\ Kittens:\ the\ cuddlies.jpg -> verify -> make record and save attributes -> then move the file to \approved\1.jpg Users are nice, Operating systems are a pain in the arse. you'll see .jpg, .jpeg and stuff with no extension or a wrong extension. That is why I would encourage you to never trust an user upload. In the long run, even if you skip my advice, you'll end up implementing it bit by bit as you encounter problems. It's bad enough dealing with users with good intentions, let alone malicious users. quarantine -> verify -> approve You'll also encounter lots of duplicate names too. (That alone is reason not to just blindly use the user supplied file name.) clear as mud?

But I guess I never asked. I would put your site in Debug mode, push it again, and see if you get something different, If not, it's probably the WSGI file. Then I would try Diagnostics: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg433048.aspx I've done a few Django sites and I think hardest part is setting up a Production server for it. Once it's going, it's fine, but there is a maze of stuff for static content, ports, permissions, etc. On Wed, May 28, 2014 at 5:24 PM, Aj Krell wrote: > Hi All. > > Does anyone have any experience putting a Django app on Azure.
