[GeoNode-devel] Using geonode-updateip with a custom geonode-project

[Dave Kennewell]

Hi Rob  - let me have a look at this concept once I solve this immediate
challenge :)

Hi Simone,

OK, so I tested this and

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mygeonodeproject.settings'

works to set the settings module correctly. We were correct -
fixoauthuri.py was pulling settings from geonode.settings not
mygeonodeproject.settings. But this doesn't solve the issue unfortunately.
It's still importing the people.profile model from the local database, not
the remote one.

To further debug, I opened the django shell as my geonode user (in my case
it's "ubuntu")

python manage.py shell

from /home/ubuntu/mygeonodeproject, and ran the commands from
fixoauthuri.py. This worked fine - they pick up my superuser created on the
remote database.

So, this leads me to believe the problem lies with fixoauthuri.py being run
as "root" user when called using "sudo geonode-updateip myIpAddress". But
I'm stuck as to further reasons why this is the problem.

To be specific:

When I use

from geonode.people.models import Profile


as *root from "sudo geonode-updateip"*, it imports Profile from the local
database.

When I use

from geonode.people.models import Profile


as *ubuntu from the shell,* it imports Profile from the remote database.


And just for completeness, when I use

from geonode.people.models import Profile


as *root from the shell *("sudo python manage.py shell"), it imports
Profile from the remote database.

Any ideas how to remedy this one?
