Askbot-Heroku - Q&A forum

<<<<<<< HEAD This is a fork of the Askbot project - open source Q&A system, like StackOverflow, Yahoo Answers and some others.

This fork consists of an initialized Askbot installation containing the necessary modifications to deploy in heroku with a PostgreSQL database.

To deploy in heroku:

  1. Create the heroku app with heroku create

  2. Push to the heroku repository: git push heroku master

  3. Set environment variables in heroku:

    $ heroku config:set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=app.settings
    $ heroku config:set SECRET_KEY="some_random_value"
    
  4. syncdb and migrate:

    $ heroku run python ./manage.py syncdb
    $ heroku run python ./manage.py migrate
    

To get a value for SECRET_KEY you can use the linux utility apg.

I will try to keep this repository synced with https://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel.git but this is not guaranteed.

The rest of this README comes from the original project.

This is Askbot project - open source Q&A system, like StackOverflow, Yahoo Answers and some others. Askbot is based on code of CNPROG, originally created by Mike Chen and Sailing Cai and some code written for OSQA.

Demos and hosting are available at http://askbot.com.

Notes on using git for Askbot. Please use topic branches only - one per feature or bugfix. Do not add multiple features and fixes into the same branch - those are much harder to understand and merge.
