I am trying to install Django 1.0, I can install latest version of Django in virtualenv using pip install django but I don't need it, I just want to install Django 1.0 as I have to do some simple work in that.
I have tried following things but at the end it use django1.4 that is installed on my system without any virtualenv, following is what I tried:
-laptop:/var/www/python_virtualenv$ virtualenv newenv
New python executable in newenv/bin/python
Installing distribute.............................................................................................................................................................................................done.
Installing pip...............done.
Then after cd to newenv, activated and installed the Django 1.0 that I downloaded using following commands:
hafiz@hafiz-laptop:/var/www/python_virtualenv/newenv$ source bin/acivate
bash: bin/acivate: No such file or directory
hafiz@hafiz-laptop:/var/www/python_virtualenv/newenv$ source bin/activate
(newenv)hafiz@hafiz-laptop:/var/www/python_virtualenv/newenv$ sudo python /home/hafiz/Downloads/Django-1.0.4/setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_scripts
running install_lib
running install_scripts
changing mode of /usr/local/bin/django-admin.py to 775
running install_data
running install_egg_info
Removing /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Django-1.0.4.egg-info
Writing /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Django-1.0.4.egg-info
(newenv)hafiz@hafiz-laptop:/var/www/python_virtualenv/newenv$
Then created project using:
(newenv)hafiz@hafiz-laptop:/var/www/python_virtualenv/newenv$ sudo python /usr/local/bin/django-admin.py startproject proj
then cd to proj and then started server using:
(newenv)hafiz@hafiz-laptop:/var/www/python_virtualenv/newenv/proj$ sudo python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8080
Validating models...
0 errors found
Django version 1.4, using settings 'proj.settings'
Development server is running at http://0.0.0.0:8080/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
but as it can be seen, Django started is Django version 1.4 using settings 'proj.settings' so what I am doing wrong?
When you do sudo python /home/hafiz/Downloads/Django-1.0.4/setup.py install, the command is executed as root, which is not going to be using the virtualenv (lukily!), so this installs system-wide, not in the virtualenv, which defeats the purpose of the virtualenv (see @miki725's comment).
You can actually confirm that from looking at the output of the install (see millimoose's comment)
changing mode of /usr/local/bin/django-admin.py to 775
This is also the case for all the other commands you run.
You should drop the sudo from all your commands.
