psql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE myproject TO myprojectuser;

Create local_settings.py

Copy /MahilaPratinidhi-production/mahila_pratinidhi/mahila_pratinidhi/local_settings_sample.py to create new local_settings.py file. You should write your custom config in this file.

cp ./MahilaPratinidhi-production/mahila_pratinidhi/mahila_pratinidhi/local_settings_sample.py ./MahilaPratinidhi-production/mahila_pratinidhi/mahila_pratinidhi/local_settings.py

Update local_settings.py

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': '',
        'USER': '',
        'PASSWORD': '',
        'HOST': '',
        'PORT': '',
        }
}

Update local_settings.py with Database NAME, USER, PASSWORD, HOST, PORT.

HOST & PORT is where your postgresql server is running.

Add entry to ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['mahilapratinidhi.naxa.com.np', 'mahilapratinidhi.com'] if you plan to allow other domains/subdomains or ip-address.

Change your SECRET_KEY as well.

You might need to add your webserver IP address to ALLOWED_HOSTS as well. {.is-warning}

$ cd ./MahilaPratinidhi-production/mahila_pratinidhi/
$ python3 manage.py migrate
$ python3 manage.py collectstatic
$ python3 <path to your venv>/mahilaPratinidhi/bin/gunicorn -c gunicorn_config.py mahila_pratinidhi.wsgi
