How to change the template?

Question

Hello.

I want to start customizing the website, so I went into osqa/forum/skins and copied the default folder and called it "push".

I then went into the settings_local.py and changed the template name from 'default' to 'push' as well as set the mode to debug = true.

But nothing is happening, am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for any help.

you need to rebuild settings_local.py first then restart apache.

to rebuild the python file.. connect using SSH for remote server or terminal if its local then open the folder where the python file is in.. after that open python prompt by writing "python" or "pythonX.Y" where X.Y is the version of python.

then do the following:

import py_compile
py_compile.compile('settings_local.py')

then restart apache... and you are all set :)

Thanks for awesome answer @Fahd , one last thing. I know PHP and I'm new at Python, do you know where I can find the version of Python I'm using? I installed this on my server through webfaction (which was really easy). Thanks.

you could go to your webfaction control panel under domain/applications here https://my.webfaction.com/app_/list and make sure what version appears next to you application.. then from the SSH console, write: python if you find it the same version then use just the word python, or else you need to specify the same version thats in your control panel..

lets say its 2.7! then you need to write python2.7 then hit return to start coding :)
