Question

how to code a batch file to automate django web server start

Answer 1

+2 A:

You can write a .bat file containing:

cd <location of your django project>
<location of python.exe> manage.py runserver

I believe that should suffice.

hi miguel i will really love to have a code example

The code is just like that... all you have to do is replace what's inside the <>s. Location of python.exe should be something like `"C:\Program Files\Python\python-2.6.1\python.exe"` but will depend on your installation. Similarly, django project location is the folder where your django project is.

Answer 2

A:

As Miguel said, you can write the below lines:

cd <location of your django project>

<location of python.exe> manage.py runserver

in a file and save it as somefilename.bat, thats it. Now, its a batch file and clicking on it would execute it i.e. your runserver command.

What do you mean by batch file scripting?
