sudo aptitude install postgresql-8.4

# adduser databaseuser
# passwd databaseuser

sudo su postgres -c psql template1
template1=# ALTER USER postgres WITH PASSWORD 'password';
template1=# \q

sudo passwd postgres

sudo nano /etc/postgresql/8.3/main/postgresql.conf

Change the line containing

data_directory = '/var/lib/postgresql/8.3/main'

to

data_directory = '/data/main'

Now change

#listen_addresses = 'localhost'

to

listen_addresses = '*'

and also change

#password_encryption = on

to

password_encryption = on

Save the file, then open the pg_hba.conf file so we can control who can access the server:

# DO NOT DISABLE!
# If you change this first entry you will need to make sure that the
# database
# super user can access the database using some other method.
# Noninteractive
# access to all databases is required during automatic maintenance
# (autovacuum, daily cronjob, replication, and similar tasks).
#
# Database administrative login by UNIX sockets
local all postgres ident sameuser
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all md5
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host all all ::1/128 md5

# Connections for all PCs on the subnet
#
# TYPE DATABASE USER IP-ADDRESS IP-MASK METHOD
host all all 0.0.0.0/0 md5 # wide-open, you may want to make this more specific to your database

start sql server

#create sql user

sudo su postgres

psql

CREATE USER 'user';

CREATE DATABASE 'database';

template1=# CREATE USER tom WITH PASSWORD 'myPassword';

Step #5: Add a database called jerry

Type the following command (you need to type command highlighted with red color):
template1=# CREATE DATABASE jerry;
Now grant all privileges on database
template1=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE jerry to tom;
Type \q to quit:
template1=# \q

$ psql template1
OR
$ psql -d template1 -U postgres

edit the /etc/nginx/sites-available with

location / {

include uwsgi_params;

}

upstream django {

replace %site with your site folder

the nginx site config files are in /etc/nginx/sites-available and ln -s to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled

In /etc/uwsgi/uwsgi-python2.6/ place your %site.ini file

home=/home/ubuntu/%virtualenvpath

env=DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=%sitepath.settings

#My path goes like /home/ubuntu/%virtualenvpath/%sitepath
