Init script for Debian

This is an init script for Debian. Save as /etc/init.d/django and run the following command:

update-rc.d django defaults

By default the script expects Django sites in /var/lib/django/<project>. It will store PID files in /var/run/django. These directories must already exist. Be careful not to set your RUN_PATH to /var/run/ but to a subdirectory as this script changes the ownership of the runpath.

The settings may be overridden in a settings file located at /etc/defaults/django. You must at least set the DJANGO_SITES variable. An example is included below.

You can also have sites run in their own ​virtualenv by creating one with the same name as the Django site in /var/run/django/environments.

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: FastCGI servers for Django
# Required-Start: networking
# Required-Stop: networking
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: S 0 1 6
# Short-Description: Start FastCGI servers with Django.
# Description: Django, in order to operate with FastCGI, must be started
# in a very specific way with manage.py. This must be done
# for each Django web server that has to run.

This is an example settings file. Most settings (apart from DJANGO_SITES) are not required, sane defaults are included in the script.

# django project names/directories
