\fBdjango\-admin\fP is Django\(aqs command\-line utility for administrative tasks.
This document outlines all it can do.
.sp
In addition, \fBmanage.py\fP is automatically created in each Django project.
\fBmanage.py\fP is a thin wrapper around \fBdjango\-admin\fP that takes care of
several things for you before delegating to \fBdjango\-admin\fP:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
It puts your project\(aqs package on \fBsys.path\fP\&.
.IP \(bu 2
It sets the \fBDJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE\fP environment variable so that
it points to your project\(aqs \fBsettings.py\fP file.
.IP \(bu 2
It calls \fBdjango.setup()\fP to initialize various internals of Django.
.UNINDENT
.sp
The \fBdjango\-admin\fP script should be on your system path if you installed
Django via its \fBsetup.py\fP utility. If it\(aqs not on your path, you can find it
in \fBsite\-packages/django/bin\fP within your Python installation. Consider
symlinking it from some place on your path, such as \fB/usr/local/bin\fP\&.
.sp
For Windows users, who do not have symlinking functionality available, you can
copy \fBdjango\-admin.exe\fP to a location on your existing path or edit the
\fBPATH\fP settings (under \fBSettings \- Control Panel \- System \- Advanced \-
Environment...\fP) to point to its installed location.
.sp
Generally, when working on a single Django project, it\(aqs easier to use
\fBmanage.py\fP than \fBdjango\-admin\fP\&. If you need to switch between multiple
Django settings files, use \fBdjango\-admin\fP with
\fBDJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE\fP or the \fI\%\-\-settings\fP command line
option.
.sp
The command\-line examples throughout this document use \fBdjango\-admin\fP to
be consistent, but any example can use \fBmanage.py\fP just as well.
.SH USAGE

.sp
\fBcommand\fP should be one of the commands listed in this document.
\fBoptions\fP, which is optional, should be zero or more of the options available
for the given command.
.SS Getting runtime help
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin help
.UNINDENT
.sp
Run \fBdjango\-admin help\fP to display usage information and a list of the
commands provided by each application.
.sp
Run \fBdjango\-admin help \-\-commands\fP to display a list of all available
commands.
.sp
Run \fBdjango\-admin help <command>\fP to display a description of the given
command and a list of its available options.
.SS App names
.sp
Many commands take a list of "app names." An "app name" is the basename of
the package containing your models. For example, if your \fBINSTALLED_APPS\fP
contains the string \fB\(aqmysite.blog\(aq\fP, the app name is \fBblog\fP\&.
.SS Determining the version
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin version

that \fBdjango\-admin\fP should print to the console. For more details, see the
documentation for the \fI\%\-\-verbosity\fP option.
.SH AVAILABLE COMMANDS
.SS check <appname appname ...>
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin check
.UNINDENT
.sp
Uses the \fBsystem check framework\fP to inspect
the entire Django project for common problems.
.sp
The system check framework will confirm that there aren\(aqt any problems with
your installed models or your admin registrations. It will also provide warnings
of common compatibility problems introduced by upgrading Django to a new version.
Custom checks may be introduced by other libraries and applications.
.sp
By default, all apps will be checked. You can check a subset of apps by providing
a list of app labels as arguments:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
python manage.py check auth admin myapp
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
If you do not specify any app, all apps will be checked.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-tag <tagname>
.UNINDENT
.sp
The \fBsystem check framework\fP performs many different
types of checks. These check types are categorized with tags. You can use these tags
to restrict the checks performed to just those in a particular category. For example,
to perform only security and compatibility checks, you would run:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
python manage.py check \-\-tag security \-\-tag compatibility
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT

.B \-\-list\-tags
.UNINDENT
.sp
List all available tags.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-deploy
.UNINDENT
.sp
.sp
The \fB\-\-deploy\fP option activates some additional checks that are only relevant
in a deployment setting.
.sp
You can use this option in your local development environment, but since your
local development settings module may not have many of your production settings,
you will probably want to point the \fBcheck\fP command at a different settings
module, either by setting the \fBDJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE\fP environment variable,
or by passing the \fB\-\-settings\fP option:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
python manage.py check \-\-deploy \-\-settings=production_settings
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Or you could run it directly on a production or staging deployment to verify
that the correct settings are in use (omitting \fB\-\-settings\fP). You could even
make it part of your integration test suite.
.SS compilemessages
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin compilemessages
.UNINDENT
.sp
Compiles .po files created by \fI\%makemessages\fP to .mo files for use with
the builtin gettext support. See \fB/topics/i18n/index\fP\&.
.sp
Use the \fI\%\-\-locale\fP option (or its shorter version \fB\-l\fP) to
specify the locale(s) to process. If not provided, all locales are processed.
.sp
Use the \fI\%\-\-exclude\fP option (or its shorter version \fB\-x\fP) to
specify the locale(s) to exclude from processing. If not provided, no locales
are excluded.
.sp
You can pass \fB\-\-use\-fuzzy\fP option (or \fB\-f\fP) to include fuzzy translations
into compiled files.
.sp
Added \fB\-\-exclude\fP and \fB\-\-use\-fuzzy\fP options.
.sp

.SS createcachetable
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin createcachetable
.UNINDENT
.sp
Creates the cache tables for use with the database cache backend using the
information from your settings file. See \fB/topics/cache\fP for more
information.
.sp
The \fI\%\-\-database\fP option can be used to specify the database
onto which the cache table will be installed, but since this information is
pulled from your settings by default, it\(aqs typically not needed.
.SS dbshell
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin dbshell
.UNINDENT
.sp
Runs the command\-line client for the database engine specified in your
\fBENGINE\fP setting, with the connection parameters specified in your
\fBUSER\fP, \fBPASSWORD\fP, etc., settings.
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
For PostgreSQL, this runs the \fBpsql\fP command\-line client.
.IP \(bu 2
For MySQL, this runs the \fBmysql\fP command\-line client.
.IP \(bu 2
For SQLite, this runs the \fBsqlite3\fP command\-line client.
.UNINDENT
.sp
This command assumes the programs are on your \fBPATH\fP so that a simple call to
the program name (\fBpsql\fP, \fBmysql\fP, \fBsqlite3\fP) will find the program in
the right place. There\(aqs no way to specify the location of the program
manually.
.sp
The \fI\%\-\-database\fP option can be used to specify the database
onto which to open a shell.
.SS diffsettings
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin diffsettings
.UNINDENT
.sp
Displays differences between the current settings file and Django\(aqs default
settings.
.sp
Settings that don\(aqt appear in the defaults are followed by \fB"###"\fP\&. For
example, the default settings don\(aqt define \fBROOT_URLCONF\fP, so
\fBROOT_URLCONF\fP is followed by \fB"###"\fP in the output of
\fBdiffsettings\fP\&.
.sp
The \fI\%\-\-all\fP option may be provided to display all settings, even
if they have Django\(aqs default value. Such settings are prefixed by \fB"###"\fP\&.
.SS dumpdata <app_label app_label app_label.Model ...>
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin dumpdata
.UNINDENT
.sp
Outputs to standard output all data in the database associated with the named
application(s).
.sp
If no application name is provided, all installed applications will be dumped.
.sp
The output of \fBdumpdata\fP can be used as input for \fI\%loaddata\fP\&.
.sp
Note that \fBdumpdata\fP uses the default manager on the model for selecting the
records to dump. If you\(aqre using a \fIcustom manager\fP as
the default manager and it filters some of the available records, not all of the
objects will be dumped.
.sp
The \fI\%\-\-all\fP option may be provided to specify that
\fBdumpdata\fP should use Django\(aqs base manager, dumping records which
might otherwise be filtered or modified by a custom manager.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-format <fmt>
.UNINDENT
.sp
By default, \fBdumpdata\fP will format its output in JSON, but you can use the
\fB\-\-format\fP option to specify another format. Currently supported formats
are listed in \fIserialization\-formats\fP\&.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-indent <num>
.UNINDENT
.sp
By default, \fBdumpdata\fP will output all data on a single line. This isn\(aqt
easy for humans to read, so you can use the \fB\-\-indent\fP option to
pretty\-print the output with a number of indentation spaces.
.sp
The \fI\%\-\-exclude\fP option may be provided to prevent specific
applications or models (specified as in the form of \fBapp_label.ModelName\fP)
from being dumped. If you specify a model name to \fBdumpdata\fP, the dumped
output will be restricted to that model, rather than the entire application.
You can also mix application names and model names.
.sp
The \fI\%\-\-database\fP option can be used to specify the database
from which data will be dumped.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-natural\-foreign
.UNINDENT
.sp
When this option is specified, Django will use the \fBnatural_key()\fP model
method to serialize any foreign key and many\-to\-many relationship to objects of
the type that defines the method. If you are dumping \fBcontrib.auth\fP
\fBPermission\fP objects or \fBcontrib.contenttypes\fP \fBContentType\fP objects, you
should probably be using this flag. See the \fInatural keys\fP documentation for more details on this
and the next option.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-natural\-primary
.UNINDENT
.sp
When this option is specified, Django will not provide the primary key in the
serialized data of this object since it can be calculated during
deserialization.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-pks
.UNINDENT
.sp
By default, \fBdumpdata\fP will output all the records of the model, but
you can use the \fB\-\-pks\fP option to specify a comma separated list of
primary keys on which to filter. This is only available when dumping
one model.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-output
.UNINDENT
.sp
.sp
By default \fBdumpdata\fP will output all the serialized data to standard output.
This options allows to specify the file to which the data is to be written.
.SS flush
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin flush
.UNINDENT
.sp
Removes all data from the database, re\-executes any post\-synchronization
handlers, and reinstalls any initial data fixtures.
.sp
The \fI\%\-\-noinput\fP option may be provided to suppress all user
prompts.
.sp
The \fI\%\-\-database\fP option may be used to specify the database
to flush.
.SS inspectdb
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin inspectdb
.UNINDENT
.sp
Introspects the database tables and views in the database pointed\-to by the
\fBNAME\fP setting and outputs a Django model module (a \fBmodels.py\fP
file) to standard output.
.sp
Use this if you have a legacy database with which you\(aqd like to use Django.
The script will inspect the database and create a model for each table or view
within it.
.sp
As you might expect, the created models will have an attribute for every field
in the table or view. Note that \fBinspectdb\fP has a few special cases in its
field\-name output:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
If \fBinspectdb\fP cannot map a column\(aqs type to a model field type, it\(aqll
use \fBTextField\fP and will insert the Python comment
\fB\(aqThis field type is a guess.\(aq\fP next to the field in the generated
model.
.IP \(bu 2
If the database column name is a Python reserved word (such as
\fB\(aqpass\(aq\fP, \fB\(aqclass\(aq\fP or \fB\(aqfor\(aq\fP), \fBinspectdb\fP will append
\fB\(aq_field\(aq\fP to the attribute name. For example, if a table has a column
\fB\(aqfor\(aq\fP, the generated model will have a field \fB\(aqfor_field\(aq\fP, with
the \fBdb_column\fP attribute set to \fB\(aqfor\(aq\fP\&. \fBinspectdb\fP will insert
the Python comment
\fB\(aqField renamed because it was a Python reserved word.\(aq\fP next to the
field.
.UNINDENT
.sp
This feature is meant as a shortcut, not as definitive model generation. After
you run it, you\(aqll want to look over the generated models yourself to make
customizations. In particular, you\(aqll need to rearrange models\(aq order, so that
models that refer to other models are ordered properly.
.sp
Primary keys are automatically introspected for PostgreSQL, MySQL and
SQLite, in which case Django puts in the \fBprimary_key=True\fP where
needed.
.sp
\fBinspectdb\fP works with PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite. Foreign\-key detection
only works in PostgreSQL and with certain types of MySQL tables.
.sp
Django doesn\(aqt create database defaults when a
\fBdefault\fP is specified on a model field.
Similarly, database defaults aren\(aqt translated to model field defaults or
detected in any fashion by \fBinspectdb\fP\&.
.sp
By default, \fBinspectdb\fP creates unmanaged models. That is, \fBmanaged = False\fP
in the model\(aqs \fBMeta\fP class tells Django not to manage each table\(aqs creation,
modification, and deletion. If you do want to allow Django to manage the
table\(aqs lifecycle, you\(aqll need to change the
\fBmanaged\fP option to \fBTrue\fP (or simply remove
it because \fBTrue\fP is its default value).
.sp
The \fI\%\-\-database\fP option may be used to specify the
database to introspect.
.sp
A feature to inspect database views was added. In previous versions, only
tables (not views) were inspected.
.SS loaddata <fixture fixture ...>
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin loaddata
.UNINDENT
.sp
Searches for and loads the contents of the named fixture into the database.
.sp
The \fI\%\-\-database\fP option can be used to specify the database
onto which the data will be loaded.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-ignorenonexistent
.UNINDENT
.sp
The \fI\%\-\-ignorenonexistent\fP option can be used to ignore fields and
models that may have been removed since the fixture was originally generated.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-app
.UNINDENT
.sp
The \fI\%\-\-app\fP option can be used to specify a single app to look
for fixtures in rather than looking through all apps.
.sp
\fB\-\-ignorenonexistent\fP also ignores non\-existent models.
.SS What\(aqs a "fixture"?
.sp
A \fIfixture\fP is a collection of files that contain the serialized contents of
the database. Each fixture has a unique name, and the files that comprise the
fixture can be distributed over multiple directories, in multiple applications.
.sp
Django will search in three locations for fixtures:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP 1. 3
In the \fBfixtures\fP directory of every installed application
.IP 2. 3
In any directory named in the \fBFIXTURE_DIRS\fP setting
.IP 3. 3
In the literal path named by the fixture
.UNINDENT
.sp
Django will load any and all fixtures it finds in these locations that match
the provided fixture names.
.sp
If the named fixture has a file extension, only fixtures of that type
will be loaded. For example:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin loaddata mydata.json
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
would only load JSON fixtures called \fBmydata\fP\&. The fixture extension
must correspond to the registered name of a
\fIserializer\fP (e.g., \fBjson\fP or \fBxml\fP).
.sp
If you omit the extensions, Django will search all available fixture types
for a matching fixture. For example:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin loaddata mydata
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
would look for any fixture of any fixture type called \fBmydata\fP\&. If a fixture
directory contained \fBmydata.json\fP, that fixture would be loaded
as a JSON fixture.
.sp
The fixtures that are named can include directory components. These
directories will be included in the search path. For example:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin loaddata foo/bar/mydata.json
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
would search \fB<app_label>/fixtures/foo/bar/mydata.json\fP for each installed
application, \fB<dirname>/foo/bar/mydata.json\fP for each directory in
\fBFIXTURE_DIRS\fP, and the literal path \fBfoo/bar/mydata.json\fP\&.
.sp
When fixture files are processed, the data is saved to the database as is.
Model defined \fBsave()\fP methods are not called, and
any \fBpre_save\fP or
\fBpost_save\fP signals will be called with
\fBraw=True\fP since the instance only contains attributes that are local to the
model. You may, for example, want to disable handlers that access
related fields that aren\(aqt present during fixture loading and would otherwise
raise an exception:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from .models import MyModel
def my_handler(**kwargs):
# disable the handler during fixture loading
if kwargs[\(aqraw\(aq]:
return
...
post_save.connect(my_handler, sender=MyModel)
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
You could also write a simple decorator to encapsulate this logic:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
from functools import wraps
def disable_for_loaddata(signal_handler):
"""
Decorator that turns off signal handlers when loading fixture data.
"""
@wraps(signal_handler)
def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
if kwargs[\(aqraw\(aq]:
return
signal_handler(*args, **kwargs)
return wrapper
@disable_for_loaddata
def my_handler(**kwargs):
...
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Just be aware that this logic will disable the signals whenever fixtures are
deserialized, not just during \fBloaddata\fP\&.
.sp
Note that the order in which fixture files are processed is undefined. However,
all fixture data is installed as a single transaction, so data in
one fixture can reference data in another fixture. If the database backend
supports row\-level constraints, these constraints will be checked at the
end of the transaction.
.sp
The \fI\%dumpdata\fP command can be used to generate input for \fBloaddata\fP\&.
.SS Compressed fixtures
.sp
Fixtures may be compressed in \fBzip\fP, \fBgz\fP, or \fBbz2\fP format. For example:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin loaddata mydata.json
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
would look for any of \fBmydata.json\fP, \fBmydata.json.zip\fP,
\fBmydata.json.gz\fP, or \fBmydata.json.bz2\fP\&. The first file contained within a
zip\-compressed archive is used.
.sp
Note that if two fixtures with the same name but different
fixture type are discovered (for example, if \fBmydata.json\fP and
\fBmydata.xml.gz\fP were found in the same fixture directory), fixture
installation will be aborted, and any data installed in the call to
\fBloaddata\fP will be removed from the database.
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.IP "MySQL with MyISAM and fixtures"
.sp
The MyISAM storage engine of MySQL doesn\(aqt support transactions or
constraints, so if you use MyISAM, you won\(aqt get validation of fixture
data, or a rollback if multiple transaction files are found.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.SS Database\-specific fixtures
.sp
If you\(aqre in a multi\-database setup, you might have fixture data that
you want to load onto one database, but not onto another. In this
situation, you can add database identifier into the names of your fixtures.
.sp
For example, if your \fBDATABASES\fP setting has a \(aqmaster\(aq database
defined, name the fixture \fBmydata.master.json\fP or
\fBmydata.master.json.gz\fP and the fixture will only be loaded when you
specify you want to load data into the \fBmaster\fP database.
.SS makemessages
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin makemessages
.UNINDENT
.sp
Runs over the entire source tree of the current directory and pulls out all
strings marked for translation. It creates (or updates) a message file in the
conf/locale (in the Django tree) or locale (for project and application)
directory. After making changes to the messages files you need to compile them
with \fI\%compilemessages\fP for use with the builtin gettext support. See
the \fIi18n documentation\fP for details.

.B django\-admin migrate
.UNINDENT
.sp
Synchronizes the database state with the current set of models and migrations.
Migrations, their relationship with apps and more are covered in depth in
\fBthe migrations documentation\fP\&.
.sp
The behavior of this command changes depending on the arguments provided:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
No arguments: All apps have all of their migrations run.
.IP \(bu 2
\fB<app_label>\fP: The specified app has its migrations run, up to the most
recent migration. This may involve running other apps\(aq migrations too, due
to dependencies.
.IP \(bu 2
\fB<app_label> <migrationname>\fP: Brings the database schema to a state where
the named migration is applied, but no later migrations in the same app are
applied. This may involve unapplying migrations if you have previously
migrated past the named migration. Use the name \fBzero\fP to unapply all
migrations for an app.
.UNINDENT
.sp
The \fI\%\-\-database\fP option can be used to specify the database to
migrate.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-fake
.UNINDENT
.sp
The \fB\-\-fake\fP option tells Django to mark the migrations as having been
applied or unapplied, but without actually running the SQL to change your
database schema.
.sp
This is intended for advanced users to manipulate the
current migration state directly if they\(aqre manually applying changes;
be warned that using \fB\-\-fake\fP runs the risk of putting the migration state
table into a state where manual recovery will be needed to make migrations
run correctly.
.sp
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-fake\-initial
.UNINDENT
.sp
The \fB\-\-fake\-initial\fP option can be used to allow Django to skip an app\(aqs
initial migration if all database tables with the names of all models created
by all \fBCreateModel\fP operations in that
migration already exist. This option is intended for use when first running
migrations against a database that preexisted the use of migrations. This
option does not, however, check for matching database schema beyond matching
table names and so is only safe to use if you are confident that your existing
schema matches what is recorded in your initial migration.
.sp
Deprecated since version 1.8: The \fB\-\-list\fP option has been moved to the \fI\%showmigrations\fP
command.
.SS runserver [port or address:port]
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin runserver
.UNINDENT
.sp
Starts a lightweight development Web server on the local machine. By default,
the server runs on port 8000 on the IP address \fB127.0.0.1\fP\&. You can pass in an
IP address and port number explicitly.
.sp
If you run this script as a user with normal privileges (recommended), you
might not have access to start a port on a low port number. Low port numbers
are reserved for the superuser (root).
.sp
This server uses the WSGI application object specified by the
\fBWSGI_APPLICATION\fP setting.
.sp
DO NOT USE THIS SERVER IN A PRODUCTION SETTING. It has not gone through
security audits or performance tests. (And that\(aqs how it\(aqs gonna stay. We\(aqre in
the business of making Web frameworks, not Web servers, so improving this
server to be able to handle a production environment is outside the scope of
Django.)
.sp
The development server automatically reloads Python code for each request, as
needed. You don\(aqt need to restart the server for code changes to take effect.
However, some actions like adding files don\(aqt trigger a restart, so you\(aqll
have to restart the server in these cases.
.sp
If you are using Linux and install \fI\%pyinotify\fP, kernel signals will be used to
autoreload the server (rather than polling file modification timestamps each
second). This offers better scaling to large projects, reduction in response
time to code modification, more robust change detection, and battery usage
reduction.
.sp
When you start the server, and each time you change Python code while the
server is running, the server will check your entire Django project for errors (see
the \fI\%check\fP command). If any errors are found, they will be printed
to standard output, but it won\(aqt stop the server.
.sp
You can run as many servers as you want, as long as they\(aqre on separate ports.
Just execute \fBdjango\-admin runserver\fP more than once.
.sp
Note that the default IP address, \fB127.0.0.1\fP, is not accessible from other
machines on your network. To make your development server viewable to other
machines on the network, use its own IP address (e.g. \fB192.168.2.1\fP) or
\fB0.0.0.0\fP or \fB::\fP (with IPv6 enabled).
.sp
You can provide an IPv6 address surrounded by brackets
(e.g. \fB[200a::1]:8000\fP). This will automatically enable IPv6 support.
.sp
A hostname containing ASCII\-only characters can also be used.
.sp
If the \fBstaticfiles\fP contrib app is enabled
(default in new projects) the \fI\%runserver\fP command will be overridden
with its own \fIrunserver\fP command.
.sp
If \fI\%migrate\fP was not previously executed, the table that stores the
history of migrations is created at first run of \fBrunserver\fP\&.

.UNINDENT
.sp
The \fB\-\-testrunner\fP option can be used to control the test runner class that
is used to execute tests. If this value is provided, it overrides the value
provided by the \fBTEST_RUNNER\fP setting.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-liveserver
.UNINDENT
.sp
The \fB\-\-liveserver\fP option can be used to override the default address where
the live server (used with \fBLiveServerTestCase\fP) is
expected to run from. The default value is \fBlocalhost:8081\fP\&.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-keepdb
.UNINDENT
.sp
.sp
The \fB\-\-keepdb\fP option can be used to preserve the test database between test
runs. This has the advantage of skipping both the create and destroy actions
which greatly decreases the time to run tests, especially those in a large
test suite. If the test database does not exist, it will be created on the first
run and then preserved for each subsequent run. Any unapplied migrations will also
be applied to the test database before running the test suite.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-reverse
.UNINDENT
.sp
.sp
The \fB\-\-reverse\fP option can be used to sort test cases in the opposite order.
This may help in debugging tests that aren\(aqt properly isolated and have side
effects. \fIGrouping by test class\fP is preserved when using
this option.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-debug\-sql
.UNINDENT
.sp
.sp
The \fB\-\-debug\-sql\fP option can be used to enable \fISQL logging\fP for failing tests. If \fI\%\-\-verbosity\fP is \fB2\fP,
then queries in passing tests are also output.
.SS testserver <fixture fixture ...>
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin testserver
.UNINDENT
.sp
Runs a Django development server (as in \fI\%runserver\fP) using data from
the given fixture(s).
.sp
For example, this command:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin testserver mydata.json
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
\&...would perform the following steps:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP 1. 3
Create a test database, as described in \fIthe\-test\-database\fP\&.
.IP 2. 3
Populate the test database with fixture data from the given fixtures.
(For more on fixtures, see the documentation for \fI\%loaddata\fP above.)
.IP 3. 3
Runs the Django development server (as in \fI\%runserver\fP), pointed at
this newly created test database instead of your production database.
.UNINDENT
.sp
This is useful in a number of ways:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
When you\(aqre writing \fBunit tests\fP of how your views
act with certain fixture data, you can use \fBtestserver\fP to interact with
the views in a Web browser, manually.
.IP \(bu 2
Let\(aqs say you\(aqre developing your Django application and have a "pristine"
copy of a database that you\(aqd like to interact with. You can dump your
database to a fixture (using the \fI\%dumpdata\fP command, explained
above), then use \fBtestserver\fP to run your Web application with that data.
With this arrangement, you have the flexibility of messing up your data
in any way, knowing that whatever data changes you\(aqre making are only
being made to a test database.
.UNINDENT
.sp
Note that this server does \fInot\fP automatically detect changes to your Python
source code (as \fI\%runserver\fP does). It does, however, detect changes to
templates.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-addrport [port number or ipaddr:port]
.UNINDENT
.sp
Use \fB\-\-addrport\fP to specify a different port, or IP address and port, from
the default of \fB127.0.0.1:8000\fP\&. This value follows exactly the same format and
serves exactly the same function as the argument to the \fI\%runserver\fP
command.
.sp
Examples:
.sp
To run the test server on port 7000 with \fBfixture1\fP and \fBfixture2\fP:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin testserver \-\-addrport 7000 fixture1 fixture2
django\-admin testserver fixture1 fixture2 \-\-addrport 7000
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
(The above statements are equivalent. We include both of them to demonstrate
that it doesn\(aqt matter whether the options come before or after the fixture
arguments.)
.sp
To run on 1.2.3.4:7000 with a \fBtest\fP fixture:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin testserver \-\-addrport 1.2.3.4:7000 test
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
The \fI\%\-\-noinput\fP option may be provided to suppress all user
prompts.
.SH COMMANDS PROVIDED BY APPLICATIONS
.sp
Some commands are only available when the \fBdjango.contrib\fP application that
\fBimplements\fP them has been
\fBenabled\fP\&. This section describes them grouped by
their application.
.SS \fBdjango.contrib.auth\fP
.SS changepassword
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin changepassword
.UNINDENT
.sp
This command is only available if Django\(aqs \fBauthentication system\fP (\fBdjango.contrib.auth\fP) is installed.
.sp
Allows changing a user\(aqs password. It prompts you to enter twice the password of
the user given as parameter. If they both match, the new password will be
changed immediately. If you do not supply a user, the command will attempt to
change the password whose username matches the current user.
.sp
Use the \fB\-\-database\fP option to specify the database to query for the user. If
it\(aqs not supplied, Django will use the \fBdefault\fP database.
.sp
Example usage:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin changepassword ringo
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.SS createsuperuser
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin createsuperuser
.UNINDENT
.sp
This command is only available if Django\(aqs \fBauthentication system\fP (\fBdjango.contrib.auth\fP) is installed.
.sp
Creates a superuser account (a user who has all permissions). This is
useful if you need to create an initial superuser account or if you need to
programmatically generate superuser accounts for your site(s).
.sp
When run interactively, this command will prompt for a password for
the new superuser account. When run non\-interactively, no password
will be set, and the superuser account will not be able to log in until
a password has been manually set for it.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-username
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-email
.UNINDENT
.sp
The username and email address for the new account can be supplied by
using the \fB\-\-username\fP and \fB\-\-email\fP arguments on the command
line. If either of those is not supplied, \fBcreatesuperuser\fP will prompt for
it when running interactively.
.sp
Use the \fB\-\-database\fP option to specify the database into which the superuser
object will be saved.
.sp
.sp
You can subclass the management command and override \fBget_input_data()\fP if you
want to customize data input and validation. Consult the source code for
details on the existing implementation and the method\(aqs parameters. For example,
it could be useful if you have a \fBForeignKey\fP in
\fBREQUIRED_FIELDS\fP and want to
allow creating an instance instead of entering the primary key of an existing
instance.
.SS \fBdjango.contrib.gis\fP
.SS ogrinspect
.sp
This command is only available if \fBGeoDjango\fP
(\fBdjango.contrib.gis\fP) is installed.
.sp
Please refer to its \fBdescription\fP in the GeoDjango
documentation.
.SS \fBdjango.contrib.sessions\fP
.SS clearsessions
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django\-admin clearsessions
.UNINDENT
.sp
Can be run as a cron job or directly to clean out expired sessions.
.SS \fBdjango.contrib.sitemaps\fP
.SS ping_google
.sp
This command is only available if the \fBSitemaps framework\fP (\fBdjango.contrib.sitemaps\fP) is installed.
.sp
Please refer to its \fBdescription\fP in the Sitemaps
documentation.
.SS \fBdjango.contrib.staticfiles\fP
.SS collectstatic
.sp
This command is only available if the \fBstatic files application\fP (\fBdjango.contrib.staticfiles\fP) is installed.
.sp
Please refer to its \fBdescription\fP in the
\fBstaticfiles\fP documentation.
.SS findstatic
.sp
This command is only available if the \fBstatic files application\fP (\fBdjango.contrib.staticfiles\fP) is installed.
.sp
Please refer to its \fBdescription\fP in the \fBstaticfiles\fP documentation.
.SH DEFAULT OPTIONS
.sp
Although some commands may allow their own custom options, every command
allows for the following options:
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-pythonpath
.UNINDENT
.sp
Example usage:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin migrate \-\-pythonpath=\(aq/home/djangoprojects/myproject\(aq
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Adds the given filesystem path to the Python \fI\%import search path\fP\&. If this
isn\(aqt provided, \fBdjango\-admin\fP will use the \fBPYTHONPATH\fP environment
variable.
.sp
Note that this option is unnecessary in \fBmanage.py\fP, because it takes care of
setting the Python path for you.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-settings
.UNINDENT
.sp
Example usage:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin migrate \-\-settings=mysite.settings
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Explicitly specifies the settings module to use. The settings module should be
in Python package syntax, e.g. \fBmysite.settings\fP\&. If this isn\(aqt provided,
\fBdjango\-admin\fP will use the \fBDJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE\fP environment
variable.
.sp
Note that this option is unnecessary in \fBmanage.py\fP, because it uses
\fBsettings.py\fP from the current project by default.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-traceback
.UNINDENT
.sp
Example usage:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin migrate \-\-traceback
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
By default, \fBdjango\-admin\fP will show a simple error message whenever an
\fBCommandError\fP occurs, but a full stack trace
for any other exception. If you specify \fB\-\-traceback\fP, \fBdjango\-admin\fP
will also output a full stack trace when a \fBCommandError\fP is raised.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-verbosity
.UNINDENT
.sp
Example usage:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin migrate \-\-verbosity 2
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Use \fB\-\-verbosity\fP to specify the amount of notification and debug information
that \fBdjango\-admin\fP should print to the console.
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fB0\fP means no output.
.IP \(bu 2
\fB1\fP means normal output (default).
.IP \(bu 2
\fB2\fP means verbose output.
.IP \(bu 2
\fB3\fP means \fIvery\fP verbose output.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-no\-color
.UNINDENT
.sp
Example usage:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin sqlall \-\-no\-color
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
By default, \fBdjango\-admin\fP will format the output to be colorized. For
example, errors will be printed to the console in red and SQL statements will
be syntax highlighted. To prevent this and have a plain text output, pass the
\fB\-\-no\-color\fP option when running your command.
.SH COMMON OPTIONS
.sp
The following options are not available on every command, but they are common
to a number of commands.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-database
.UNINDENT
.sp
Used to specify the database on which a command will operate. If not
specified, this option will default to an alias of \fBdefault\fP\&.
.sp
For example, to dump data from the database with the alias \fBmaster\fP:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin dumpdata \-\-database=master
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-exclude
.UNINDENT
.sp
Exclude a specific application from the applications whose contents is
output. For example, to specifically exclude the \fBauth\fP application from
the output of dumpdata, you would call:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin dumpdata \-\-exclude=auth
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
If you want to exclude multiple applications, use multiple \fB\-\-exclude\fP
directives:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin dumpdata \-\-exclude=auth \-\-exclude=contenttypes
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-locale
.UNINDENT
.sp
Use the \fB\-\-locale\fP or \fB\-l\fP option to specify the locale to process.
If not provided all locales are processed.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-noinput
.UNINDENT
.sp
Use the \fB\-\-noinput\fP option to suppress all user prompting, such as "Are
you sure?" confirmation messages. This is useful if \fBdjango\-admin\fP is
being executed as an unattended, automated script.
.SH EXTRA NICETIES
.SS Syntax coloring
.sp
The \fBdjango\-admin\fP / \fBmanage.py\fP commands will use pretty
color\-coded output if your terminal supports ANSI\-colored output. It
won\(aqt use the color codes if you\(aqre piping the command\(aqs output to
another program.
.sp
Under Windows, the native console doesn\(aqt support ANSI escape sequences so by
default there is no color output. But you can install the \fI\%ANSICON\fP
third\-party tool, the Django commands will detect its presence and will make
use of its services to color output just like on Unix\-based platforms.
.sp
The colors used for syntax highlighting can be customized. Django
ships with three color palettes:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBdark\fP, suited to terminals that show white text on a black
background. This is the default palette.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBlight\fP, suited to terminals that show black text on a white
background.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBnocolor\fP, which disables syntax highlighting.
.UNINDENT
.sp
You select a palette by setting a \fBDJANGO_COLORS\fP environment
variable to specify the palette you want to use. For example, to
specify the \fBlight\fP palette under a Unix or OS/X BASH shell, you
would run the following at a command prompt:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
export DJANGO_COLORS="light"
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
You can also customize the colors that are used. Django specifies a
number of roles in which color is used:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBerror\fP \- A major error.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBnotice\fP \- A minor error.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBsql_field\fP \- The name of a model field in SQL.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBsql_coltype\fP \- The type of a model field in SQL.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBsql_keyword\fP \- An SQL keyword.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBsql_table\fP \- The name of a model in SQL.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBhttp_info\fP \- A 1XX HTTP Informational server response.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBhttp_success\fP \- A 2XX HTTP Success server response.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBhttp_not_modified\fP \- A 304 HTTP Not Modified server response.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBhttp_redirect\fP \- A 3XX HTTP Redirect server response other than 304.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBhttp_not_found\fP \- A 404 HTTP Not Found server response.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBhttp_bad_request\fP \- A 4XX HTTP Bad Request server response other than 404.
.IP \(bu 2
\fBhttp_server_error\fP \- A 5XX HTTP Server Error response.
.UNINDENT
.sp
Each of these roles can be assigned a specific foreground and
background color, from the following list:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBblack\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBred\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBgreen\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fByellow\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBblue\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBmagenta\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBcyan\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBwhite\fP
.UNINDENT
.sp
Each of these colors can then be modified by using the following
display options:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBbold\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBunderscore\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBblink\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBreverse\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBconceal\fP
.UNINDENT
.sp
A color specification follows one of the following patterns:
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
\fBrole=fg\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBrole=fg/bg\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBrole=fg,option,option\fP
.IP \(bu 2
\fBrole=fg/bg,option,option\fP
.UNINDENT
.sp
where \fBrole\fP is the name of a valid color role, \fBfg\fP is the
foreground color, \fBbg\fP is the background color and each \fBoption\fP
is one of the color modifying options. Multiple color specifications
are then separated by semicolon. For example:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
export DJANGO_COLORS="error=yellow/blue,blink;notice=magenta"
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
would specify that errors be displayed using blinking yellow on blue,
and notices displayed using magenta. All other color roles would be
left uncolored.
.sp
Colors can also be specified by extending a base palette. If you put
a palette name in a color specification, all the colors implied by that
palette will be loaded. So:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
export DJANGO_COLORS="light;error=yellow/blue,blink;notice=magenta"
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
would specify the use of all the colors in the light color palette,
\fIexcept\fP for the colors for errors and notices which would be
overridden as specified.
.SS Bash completion
.sp
If you use the Bash shell, consider installing the Django bash completion
script, which lives in \fBextras/django_bash_completion\fP in the Django
distribution. It enables tab\-completion of \fBdjango\-admin\fP and
\fBmanage.py\fP commands, so you can, for instance...
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
Type \fBdjango\-admin\fP\&.
.IP \(bu 2
Press [TAB] to see all available options.
.IP \(bu 2
Type \fBsql\fP, then [TAB], to see all available options whose names start
with \fBsql\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.sp
See \fB/howto/custom\-management\-commands\fP for how to add customized actions.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B django.core.management.call_command(name, *args, **options)
.UNINDENT
.sp
To call a management command from code use \fBcall_command\fP\&.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \fBname\fP
the name of the command to call.
.TP
.B \fB*args\fP
a list of arguments accepted by the command.
.TP
.B \fB**options\fP
named options accepted on the command\-line.
.UNINDENT
.sp
Examples:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
from django.core import management
management.call_command(\(aqflush\(aq, verbosity=0, interactive=False)
management.call_command(\(aqloaddata\(aq, \(aqtest_data\(aq, verbosity=0)
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
Note that command options that take no arguments are passed as keywords
with \fBTrue\fP or \fBFalse\fP, as you can see with the \fBinteractive\fP option above.
.sp
Named arguments can be passed by using either one of the following syntaxes:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
# Similar to the command line
management.call_command(\(aqdumpdata\(aq, \(aq\-\-natural\-foreign\(aq)
# Named argument similar to the command line minus the initial dashes and
# with internal dashes replaced by underscores
management.call_command(\(aqdumpdata\(aq, natural_foreign=True)
# \(gause_natural_foreign_keys\(ga is the option destination variable
management.call_command(\(aqdumpdata\(aq, use_natural_foreign_keys=True)
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
The first syntax is now supported thanks to management commands using the
\fI\%argparse\fP module. For the second syntax, Django previously passed
the option name as\-is to the command, now it is always using the \fBdest\fP
variable name (which may or may not be the same as the option name).
.sp
Command options which take multiple options are passed a list:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
management.call_command(\(aqdumpdata\(aq, exclude=[\(aqcontenttypes\(aq, \(aqauth\(aq])
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.SH OUTPUT REDIRECTION
.sp
Note that you can redirect standard output and error streams as all commands
support the \fBstdout\fP and \fBstderr\fP options. For example, you could write:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
with open(\(aq/tmp/command_output\(aq) as f:
management.call_command(\(aqdumpdata\(aq, stdout=f)
.ft P
