Enabling sessions
=================
Sessions are implemented via middleware_.
Sessions are implemented via a piece of middleware_ and a Django model.
Turn session functionality on and off by editing the ``MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES``
setting. To activate sessions, make sure ``MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`` contains
``'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware'``.
To enable session functionality, do these two things:
The default ``settings.py`` created by ``django-admin.py startproject`` has
``SessionMiddleware`` activated.
* Edit the ``MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`` setting and make sure
``MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`` contains ``'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware'``.
The default ``settings.py`` created by ``django-admin.py startproject`` has
``SessionMiddleware`` activated.
* Add ``'django.contrib.sessions'`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting, and
run ``manage.py syncdb`` to install the single database table that stores
session data.
If you don't want to use sessions, you might as well remove the
``SessionMiddleware`` line from ``MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES``. It'll save you a small
bit of overhead.
