XAMPP + Python + Django
In this post I go over the steps to install XAMPP, Python, and then Django on a Windows XP system. I have also listed the sites that helped me create the setup in my Windows XP machine.
Here are the steps I followed to setup the Django web framework on my Windows XP machine. Lets start with prerequisites,
STEP 1: Prerequisites
At the end of this step you should have the following files in a folder,
Step 2: Install XAMPP first
Download XAMPP and double click on xampp-win32-1.6.8-installer.exe to start the installation. Just click on next and follow the default settings to have XAMPP installed on your machine. After the installation is complete you will have a directory structure like this,c:\xampp\
Double click on xampp-control.exe to start the XAMPP control panel.

xampp_restart.exe
xampp_start.exe
xampp_stop.exe
Here you can see the status of the Servers. You can start the apache server and check http://127.0.0.1/ to see whether the web server is running or not.
There are lot of videos available on YouTube that can also help you with installing XAMPP. Here is one such video.
Step 3: Install Python 2.5.2 next
Install Python 2.5.2 (NOT 2.6) as mod_python does not support the Python 2.6 yet. Check out this video for one such installation of Python. This installation also covers installation of mod_python.
Python should be installed in the following directoryC:\Python25
Step 4: Install mod_python
Install mod_python by downloading from here mod_python-3.3.1.win32-py2.5-Apache2.2.exe. During installation you have to specify the directory where Apache is installed choose,C:\xampp\apache
Step 5: Install Django 1.0
Download Django-1.0.tar.gz and unzip it. You will see a directory structure as below,Django-1.0\
The folder that is of importance is django. Copy the django folder to the following folder,
\django
\docs
\examples
\extras
\scripts
\tests
AUTHORS
INSTALL
LICENSE
MANIFEST.in
README
setup.cfg
setup.pyC:\Python25\Lib\site-packages
After you copy the django folder there the folder structure will look like this,C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\
Now copy the django-admin.py file from
\django
\bin
\conf
\contrib
\core
\db
\dispatch
\forms
\http
\middleware
\shortcuts
\template
\templatetags
\test
\utils
\views
__init__.py
__init__.pyc
\mod_python
mod_python-3.3.1-py2.5.egg-info
mod_python_uninstall.log
README.txtC:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\django\bin\django-admin.py
to the following two folders,C:\Python25\Scripts
Now you are all set to test Django on XAMPP.
C:\xampp\htdocs
Step 6: Test Django on XAMPP/Apache
Open the command window and go to the htdocs folder and execute the following command (ref 1),C:\xampp\htdocs\django-admin.py startproject testproject
This will create the basic testproject that you can access from local website. But before you can access this you have to open httpd.conf file from the following location,C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
and then type the following text to the end of the httpd.conf file.
After you type this text please restart the apache webserver. Now visit the following website to see Django in action,http://127.0.0.1/testproject/
If everything goes alright you will see the following screen,

Copy Data between SQL Express Database(s)
In this post I present a step by step method to copy tables, with data, from one database to another database inside a single SQL Server 2005 Express Edition.
More information about SQL Server 2005 Express Edition can be found here.
STEP 1: (right click on table name)
Create a script for the schema of the table to be copied. This is the table with all the data.
STEP 2:
After you click create, you will see a code window as shown below.
STEP 3:
Change the database name in the script to the new database name (the database where you are going to copy this table). This is done just once by changing the text in the code as shown below.
STEP 4:
Now click on execute to run the SQL command as shown below.
STEP 5:
You will see a command window as shown below at the end of the execution. If you see an error your table copy failed. If the copy fails please make sure you have followed the instructions above properly, and you are not missing any opening/closing square brackets.
After STEP 5 you can go ahead and refresh the database where the table was copied, and you will see an entry for the table. If you open the table you will see there is no data in it. To copy the data from the original table please follow the following steps.
STEP 6:
Create a SELECT command by clicking the "SELECT To" as shown below,
STEP 7: (right click on old table)
Copy the SELECT query on this window to clipboard. We will use in in STEP 11.
STEP 8: (right click on old table)
Create an Insert query as shown below,
STEP 9:
Delete the portion of the query starting with VALUES, as shown below.
STEP 10:
Change the database name in the INSERT query to the "new" database name as shown below,
STEP 11:
Paste the SELECT query command from STEP 7 to the Insert Query window as shown below.
STEP 12:
Execute the command as shown below.
Now you can go to your new database and refresh the table to see the data in there. If you know of a better method of achieving this result, please leave a comment below. Thanks.
