.. warning::
|
|
|
|
Be careful when you override settings, especially when the default value
|
|
is a non-empty tuple or dictionary, such as :setting:`MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`
|
|
and :setting:`TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS`. Make sure you keep the
|
|
components required by the features of Django you wish to use.
|
|
|
|
Available settings
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Here's a full list of all available settings, in alphabetical order, and their
|
|
default values.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: ABSOLUTE_URL_OVERRIDES
|
|
|
|
ABSOLUTE_URL_OVERRIDES
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``{}`` (Empty dictionary)
|
|
|
|
A dictionary mapping ``"app_label.model_name"`` strings to functions that take
|
|
a model object and return its URL. This is a way of overriding
|
|
``get_absolute_url()`` methods on a per-installation basis. Example::
|
|
|
|
ABSOLUTE_URL_OVERRIDES = {
|
|
'blogs.weblog': lambda o: "/blogs/%s/" % o.slug,
|
|
'news.story': lambda o: "/stories/%s/%s/" % (o.pub_year, o.slug),
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Note that the model name used in this setting should be all lower-case, regardless
|
|
of the case of the actual model class name.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: ADMIN_FOR
|
|
|
|
ADMIN_FOR
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``()`` (Empty tuple)
|
|
|
|
Used for admin-site settings modules, this should be a tuple of settings
|
|
modules (in the format ``'foo.bar.baz'``) for which this site is an admin.
|
|
|
|
The admin site uses this in its automatically-introspected documentation of
|
|
models, views and template tags.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: ADMINS
|
|
|
|
ADMINS
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``()`` (Empty tuple)
|
|
|
|
A tuple that lists people who get code error notifications. When
|
|
``DEBUG=False`` and a view raises an exception, Django will email these people
|
|
with the full exception information. Each member of the tuple should be a tuple
|
|
of (Full name, email address). Example::
|
|
|
|
(('John', 'john@example.com'), ('Mary', 'mary@example.com'))
|
|
|
|
Note that Django will email *all* of these people whenever an error happens.
|
|
See :doc:`/howto/error-reporting` for more information.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS
|
|
|
|
ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``()`` (Empty tuple)
|
|
|
|
A tuple of strings representing allowed prefixes for the ``{% ssi %}`` template
|
|
tag. This is a security measure, so that template authors can't access files
|
|
that they shouldn't be accessing.
|
|
|
|
For example, if :setting:`ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS` is ``('/home/html', '/var/www')``,
|
|
then ``{% ssi /home/html/foo.txt %}`` would work, but ``{% ssi /etc/passwd %}``
|
|
wouldn't.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: APPEND_SLASH
|
|
|
|
APPEND_SLASH
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``True``
|
|
|
|
When set to ``True``, if the request URL does not match any of the patterns
|
|
in the URLconf and it doesn't end in a slash, an HTTP redirect is issued to the
|
|
same URL with a slash appended. Note that the redirect may cause any data
|
|
submitted in a POST request to be lost.
|
|
|
|
The :setting:`APPEND_SLASH` setting is only used if
|
|
:class:`~django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware` is installed
|
|
(see :doc:`/topics/http/middleware`). See also :setting:`PREPEND_WWW`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS
|
|
|
|
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``('django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',)``
|
|
|
|
A tuple of authentication backend classes (as strings) to use when attempting to
|
|
authenticate a user. See the :doc:`authentication backends documentation
|
|
</ref/authbackends>` for details.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: AUTH_USER_MODEL
|
|
|
|
AUTH_USER_MODEL
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Default: 'auth.User'
|
|
|
|
The model to use to represent a User. See :ref:`auth-custom-user`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CACHES
|
|
|
|
CACHES
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Default::
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
'default': {
|
|
'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache',
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
A dictionary containing the settings for all caches to be used with
|
|
Django. It is a nested dictionary whose contents maps cache aliases
|
|
to a dictionary containing the options for an individual cache.
|
|
|
|
The :setting:`CACHES` setting must configure a ``default`` cache;
|
|
any number of additional caches may also be specified. If you
|
|
are using a cache backend other than the local memory cache, or
|
|
you need to define multiple caches, other options will be required.
|
|
The following cache options are available.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CACHES-BACKEND
|
|
|
|
BACKEND
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
The cache backend to use. The built-in cache backends are:
|
|
|
|
* ``'django.core.cache.backends.db.DatabaseCache'``
|
|
* ``'django.core.cache.backends.dummy.DummyCache'``
|
|
* ``'django.core.cache.backends.filebased.FileBasedCache'``
|
|
* ``'django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache'``
|
|
* ``'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.MemcachedCache'``
|
|
* ``'django.core.cache.backends.memcached.PyLibMCCache'``
|
|
|
|
You can use a cache backend that doesn't ship with Django by setting
|
|
:setting:`BACKEND <CACHE-BACKEND>` to a fully-qualified path of a cache
|
|
backend class (i.e. ``mypackage.backends.whatever.WhateverCache``).
|
|
Writing a whole new cache backend from scratch is left as an exercise
|
|
to the reader; see the other backends for examples.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CACHES-KEY_FUNCTION
|
|
|
|
KEY_FUNCTION
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
A string containing a dotted path to a function that defines how to
|
|
compose a prefix, version and key into a final cache key. The default
|
|
implementation is equivalent to the function::
|
|
|
|
def make_key(key, key_prefix, version):
|
|
return ':'.join([key_prefix, str(version), key])
|
|
|
|
You may use any key function you want, as long as it has the same
|
|
argument signature.
|
|
|
|
See the :ref:`cache documentation <cache_key_transformation>` for more information.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CACHES-KEY_PREFIX
|
|
|
|
KEY_PREFIX
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
A string that will be automatically included (prepended by default) to
|
|
all cache keys used by the Django server.
|
|
|
|
See the :ref:`cache documentation <cache_key_prefixing>` for more information.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CACHES-LOCATION
|
|
|
|
LOCATION
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
The location of the cache to use. This might be the directory for a
|
|
file system cache, a host and port for a memcache server, or simply an
|
|
identifying name for a local memory cache. e.g.::
|
|
|
|
CACHES = {
|
|
'default': {
|
|
'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.filebased.FileBasedCache',
|
|
'LOCATION': '/var/tmp/django_cache',
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CACHES-OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: None
|
|
|
|
Extra parameters to pass to the cache backend. Available parameters
|
|
vary depending on your cache backend.
|
|
|
|
Some information on available parameters can be found in the
|
|
:doc:`Cache Backends </topics/cache>` documentation. For more information,
|
|
consult your backend module's own documentation.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CACHES-TIMEOUT
|
|
|
|
TIMEOUT
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: 300
|
|
|
|
The number of seconds before a cache entry is considered stale.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CACHES-VERSION

|
|
VERSION
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``1``
|
|
|
|
The default version number for cache keys generated by the Django server.
|
|
|
|
See the :ref:`cache documentation <cache_versioning>` for more information.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_ALIAS
|
|
|
|
CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_ALIAS
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``default``
|
|
|
|
The cache connection to use for the cache middleware.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_ANONYMOUS_ONLY
|
|
|
|
CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_ANONYMOUS_ONLY
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
If the value of this setting is ``True``, only anonymous requests (i.e., not
|
|
those made by a logged-in user) will be cached. Otherwise, the middleware
|
|
caches every page that doesn't have GET or POST parameters.
|
|
|
|
If you set the value of this setting to ``True``, you should make sure you've
|
|
activated ``AuthenticationMiddleware``.
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`/topics/cache`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_KEY_PREFIX
|
|
|
|
CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_KEY_PREFIX
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
The cache key prefix that the cache middleware should use.
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`/topics/cache`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_SECONDS
|
|
|
|
CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_SECONDS
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``600``
|
|
|
|
The default number of seconds to cache a page when the caching middleware or
|
|
``cache_page()`` decorator is used.
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`/topics/cache`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CSRF_COOKIE_DOMAIN
|
|
|
|
CSRF_COOKIE_DOMAIN
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
The domain to be used when setting the CSRF cookie. This can be useful for
|
|
easily allowing cross-subdomain requests to be excluded from the normal cross
|
|
site request forgery protection. It should be set to a string such as
|
|
``".example.com"`` to allow a POST request from a form on one subdomain to be
|
|
accepted by accepted by a view served from another subdomain.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the presence of this setting does not imply that Django's CSRF
|
|
protection is safe from cross-subdomain attacks by default - please see the
|
|
:ref:`CSRF limitations <csrf-limitations>` section.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CSRF_COOKIE_NAME
|
|
|
|
CSRF_COOKIE_NAME
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'csrftoken'``
|
|
|
|

.. setting:: CSRF_COOKIE_PATH
|
|
|
|
CSRF_COOKIE_PATH
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.4
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'/'``
|
|
|
|
The path set on the CSRF cookie. This should either match the URL path of your
|
|
Django installation or be a parent of that path.
|
|
|
|
This is useful if you have multiple Django instances running under the same
|
|
hostname. They can use different cookie paths, and each instance will only see
|
|
its own CSRF cookie.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE
|
|
|
|
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.4
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
Whether to use a secure cookie for the CSRF cookie. If this is set to ``True``,
|
|
the cookie will be marked as "secure," which means browsers may ensure that the
|
|
cookie is only sent under an HTTPS connection.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: CSRF_FAILURE_VIEW
|
|
|
|
CSRF_FAILURE_VIEW
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'django.views.csrf.csrf_failure'``
|
|
|
|
A dotted path to the view function to be used when an incoming request
|
|
is rejected by the CSRF protection. The function should have this signature::
|
|
|
|
def csrf_failure(request, reason="")
|
|
|
|
where ``reason`` is a short message (intended for developers or logging, not for
|
|
end users) indicating the reason the request was rejected. See
|
|
:doc:`/ref/contrib/csrf`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: DATABASES
|
|
|
|
DATABASES
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``{}`` (Empty dictionary)
|
|
|
|
A dictionary containing the settings for all databases to be used with
|
|
Django. It is a nested dictionary whose contents maps database aliases
|
|
to a dictionary containing the options for an individual database.
|
|
|
|
The :setting:`DATABASES` setting must configure a ``default`` database;
|
|
any number of additional databases may also be specified.
|
|
|
|
The simplest possible settings file is for a single-database setup using
|
|
SQLite. This can be configured using the following::
|
|
|
|
DATABASES = {
|
|
'default': {
|
|
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
|
|
'NAME': 'mydatabase'
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
For other database backends, or more complex SQLite configurations, other options
|
|
will be required. The following inner options are available.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: DATABASE-ENGINE
|
|
|
|
ENGINE
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
The database backend to use. The built-in database backends are:
|
|
|
|
* ``'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2'``
|
|
* ``'django.db.backends.mysql'``
|
|
* ``'django.db.backends.sqlite3'``
|
|
* ``'django.db.backends.oracle'``
|
|
|
|
You can use a database backend that doesn't ship with Django by setting
|
|
``ENGINE`` to a fully-qualified path (i.e.
|
|
``mypackage.backends.whatever``). Writing a whole new database backend from
|
|
scratch is left as an exercise to the reader; see the other backends for
|
|
examples.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: HOST
|
|
|
|
HOST
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
Which host to use when connecting to the database. An empty string means
|
|
localhost. Not used with SQLite.
|
|
|
|
If this value starts with a forward slash (``'/'``) and you're using MySQL,
|
|
MySQL will connect via a Unix socket to the specified socket. For example::
|
|
|
|
"HOST": '/var/run/mysql'
|
|
|
|
If you're using MySQL and this value *doesn't* start with a forward slash, then
|
|
this value is assumed to be the host.
|
|
|
|
If you're using PostgreSQL, by default (empty :setting:`HOST`), the connection
|
|
to the database is done through UNIX domain sockets ('local' lines in
|
|
``pg_hba.conf``). If you want to connect through TCP sockets, set
|
|
:setting:`HOST` to 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' ('host' lines in ``pg_hba.conf``).
|
|
On Windows, you should always define :setting:`HOST`, as UNIX domain sockets
|
|
are not available.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: NAME
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
The name of the database to use. For SQLite, it's the full path to the database
|
|
file. When specifying the path, always use forward slashes, even on Windows
|
|
(e.g. ``C:/homes/user/mysite/sqlite3.db``).
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``{}`` (Empty dictionary)
|
|
|
|
Extra parameters to use when connecting to the database. Available parameters
|
|
vary depending on your database backend.
|
|
|
|
Some information on available parameters can be found in the
|
|
:doc:`Database Backends </ref/databases>` documentation. For more information,
|
|
consult your backend module's own documentation.
|

PASSWORD
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|

|
|
PORT
|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
The port to use when connecting to the database. An empty string means the
|
|
default port. Not used with SQLite.

|
|
~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)

|
|
|
|
.. setting:: TEST_CHARSET
|
|
|
|
TEST_CHARSET
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
The character set encoding used to create the test database. The value of this
|
|
string is passed directly through to the database, so its format is
|
|
backend-specific.
|
|
|
|
Supported for the PostgreSQL_ (``postgresql_psycopg2``) and MySQL_ (``mysql``)
|
|
backends.
|
|
|
|
.. _PostgreSQL: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/multibyte.html

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|

|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
The alias of the database that this database should mirror during
|
|
testing.
|
|
|
|
This setting exists to allow for testing of master/slave
|
|
configurations of multiple databases. See the documentation on

|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
The name of database to use when running the test suite.
|
|
|
|
If the default value (``None``) is used with the SQLite database engine, the
|

tests will use a memory resident database. For all other database engines the
|
|
test database will use the name ``'test_' + DATABASE_NAME``.
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`/topics/testing`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: TEST_CREATE

|
|
at the beginning of the tests and dropped at the end.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: TEST_USER
|
|
|
|
TEST_USER

|
TEST_USER_CREATE
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|

|
|
|
|
The default formatting to use for displaying date fields in any part of the

|
When :setting:`USE_L10N` is ``True``, the locale-dictated format has higher
|
|

|
|
'%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S', '%m/%d/%y %H:%M', '%m/%d/%y')
|
|
|
|
A tuple of formats that will be accepted when inputting data on a datetime
|
|
field. Formats will be tried in order, using the first valid one. Note that
|
|
these format strings use Python's datetime_ module syntax, not the format
|

|
|
.. setting:: DEBUG
|
|
|
|
DEBUG
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
A boolean that turns on/off debug mode.
|
|
|
|
Never deploy a site into production with :setting:`DEBUG` turned on.
|
|
|
|
Did you catch that? NEVER deploy a site into production with :setting:`DEBUG`
|
|
turned on.
|
|
|
|
One of the main features of debug mode is the display of detailed error pages.
|
|
If your app raises an exception when :setting:`DEBUG` is ``True``, Django will
|
|
display a detailed traceback, including a lot of metadata about your
|
|
environment, such as all the currently defined Django settings (from
|
|
``settings.py``).
|
|
|
|
As a security measure, Django will *not* include settings that might be
|
|
sensitive (or offensive), such as :setting:`SECRET_KEY` or
|
|
:setting:`PROFANITIES_LIST`. Specifically, it will exclude any setting whose
|
|
name includes any of the following:
|
|
|
|
* API
|
|
* KEY
|
|
* PASS
|
|
* PROFANITIES_LIST
|
|
* SECRET
|
|
* SIGNATURE
|
|
* TOKEN
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.4
|
|
|
|
We changed ``'PASSWORD'`` ``'PASS'``. ``'API'``, ``'TOKEN'`` and ``'KEY'``
|
|
were added.
|
|
|
|
Note that these are *partial* matches. ``'PASS'`` will also match PASSWORD,
|
|
just as ``'TOKEN'`` will also match TOKENIZED and so on.
|
|
|
|
Still, note that there are always going to be sections of your debug output
|
|
that are inappropriate for public consumption. File paths, configuration
|
|
options and the like all give attackers extra information about your server.
|
|
|
|
It is also important to remember that when running with :setting:`DEBUG`
|
|
turned on, Django will remember every SQL query it executes. This is useful
|
|
when you're debugging, but it'll rapidly consume memory on a production server.
|
|
|

DEBUG_PROPAGATE_EXCEPTIONS
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
If set to True, Django's normal exception handling of view functions
|
|
will be suppressed, and exceptions will propagate upwards. This can
|
|
be useful for some test setups, and should never be used on a live
|
|
site.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: DECIMAL_SEPARATOR

|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'.'`` (Dot)
|
|
|
|
Default decimal separator used when formatting decimal numbers.
|
|
|
|
Note that if :setting:`USE_L10N` is set to ``True``, then the locale-dictated
|
|
format has higher precedence and will be applied instead.

("django.core.files.uploadhandler.MemoryFileUploadHandler",
|
|
"django.core.files.uploadhandler.TemporaryFileUploadHandler",)

|
:func:`os.chmod`.
|
|
|
|
If this isn't given or is ``None``, you'll get operating-system

|
|
system's standard umask.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
**Always prefix the mode with a 0.**
|
|
|
|
If you're not familiar with file modes, please note that the leading
|
|
``0`` is very important: it indicates an octal number, which is the
|
|
way that modes must be specified. If you try to use ``644``, you'll
|
|
get totally incorrect behavior.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: FILE_UPLOAD_TEMP_DIR

|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
The directory to store data temporarily while uploading files. If ``None``,
|
|
Django will use the standard temporary directory for the operating system. For
|
|
example, this will default to '/tmp' on \*nix-style operating systems.
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`/topics/files` for details.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: FIRST_DAY_OF_WEEK

|
|
|
|
Number representing the first day of the week. This is especially useful
|
|
when displaying a calendar. This value is only used when not using
|
|
format internationalization, or when a format cannot be found for the
|
|
current locale.
|
|
|
|
The value must be an integer from 0 to 6, where 0 means Sunday, 1 means
|
|
Monday and so on.
|
|
|
|

|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
If not ``None``, this will be used as the value of the ``SCRIPT_NAME``
|
|
environment variable in any HTTP request. This setting can be used to override
|
|
the server-provided value of ``SCRIPT_NAME``, which may be a rewritten version
|
|
of the preferred value or not supplied at all.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: FORMAT_MODULE_PATH
|
|
|
|
FORMAT_MODULE_PATH
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
A full Python path to a Python package that contains format definitions for
|
|
project locales. If not ``None``, Django will check for a ``formats.py``
|
|
file, under the directory named as the current locale, and will use the
|
|
formats defined on this file.
|
|
|
|
For example, if :setting:`FORMAT_MODULE_PATH` is set to ``mysite.formats``,
|
|
and current language is ``en`` (English), Django will expect a directory tree
|
|
like::
|
|
|
|
mysite/
|
|
formats/
|
|
__init__.py
|
|
en/
|
|
__init__.py
|

|
|
|
|
List of compiled regular expression objects describing URLs that should be
|
|
ignored when reporting HTTP 404 errors via email (see
|
|
:doc:`/howto/error-reporting`). Regular expressions are matched against
|
|
:meth:`request's full paths <django.http.HttpRequest.get_full_path>` (including
|
|
query string, if any). Use this if your site does not provide a commonly
|
|
requested file such as ``favicon.ico`` or ``robots.txt``, or if it gets
|
|
hammered by script kiddies.
|
|
|
|
This is only used if :setting:`SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS` is set to ``True`` and
|
|
``CommonMiddleware`` is installed (see :doc:`/topics/http/middleware`).

.. admonition:: App names must be unique
|
|
|
|
The application names (that is, the final dotted part of the
|
|
path to the module containing ``models.py``) defined in
|
|
:setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` *must* be unique. For example, you can't
|
|
include both ``django.contrib.auth`` and ``myproject.auth`` in
|
|
INSTALLED_APPS.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: INTERNAL_IPS

|
|
|
|
Default: A tuple of all available languages. This list is continually growing
|
|
and including a copy here would inevitably become rapidly out of date. You can
|
|
see the current list of translated languages by looking in
|
|
``django/conf/global_settings.py`` (or view the `online source`_).
|
|
|
|
.. _online source: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/conf/global_settings.py
|
|
|
|
The list is a tuple of two-tuples in the format ``(language code, language
|
|
name)``, the ``language code`` part should be a
|
|
:term:`language name<language code>` -- for example, ``('ja', 'Japanese')``.
|
|
This specifies which languages are available for language selection. See
|
|
:doc:`/topics/i18n/index`.
|
|
|
|
Generally, the default value should suffice. Only set this setting if you want
|
|
to restrict language selection to a subset of the Django-provided languages.
|
|
|
|
If you define a custom :setting:`LANGUAGES` setting, it's OK to mark the
|
|
languages as translation strings (as in the default value referred to above)
|
|
-- but use a "dummy" ``gettext()`` function, not the one in
|
|
``django.utils.translation``. You should *never* import
|
|
``django.utils.translation`` from within your settings file, because that
|
|
module in itself depends on the settings, and that would cause a circular
|
|
import.
|
|
|
|
The solution is to use a "dummy" ``gettext()`` function. Here's a sample
|
|
settings file::
|
|
|
|
gettext = lambda s: s
|
|
|
|
LANGUAGES = (
|
|
('de', gettext('German')),
|
|
('en', gettext('English')),
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
With this arrangement, ``django-admin.py makemessages`` will still find and
|
|
mark these strings for translation, but the translation won't happen at
|
|
runtime -- so you'll have to remember to wrap the languages in the *real*
|
|
``gettext()`` in any code that uses :setting:`LANGUAGES` at runtime.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: LOCALE_PATHS
|
|
|
|
LOCALE_PATHS
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``()`` (Empty tuple)
|
|
|
|
A tuple of directories where Django looks for translation files.
|
|
See :ref:`how-django-discovers-translations`.
|
|
|
|
Example::
|
|
|
|
LOCALE_PATHS = (
|
|
'/home/www/project/common_files/locale',
|
|
'/var/local/translations/locale'
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
Django will look within each of these paths for the ``<locale_code>/LC_MESSAGES``
|
|
directories containing the actual translation files.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: LOGGING
|
|
|
|
LOGGING
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Default: A logging configuration dictionary.
|
|
|
|
A data structure containing configuration information. The contents of
|
|
this data structure will be passed as the argument to the
|
|
configuration method described in :setting:`LOGGING_CONFIG`.
|
|
|
|
The default logging configuration passes HTTP 500 server errors to an
|
|
email log handler; all other log messages are given to a NullHandler.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: LOGGING_CONFIG
|
|
|
|
LOGGING_CONFIG
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'django.utils.log.dictConfig'``
|
|
|
|
A path to a callable that will be used to configure logging in the
|
|
Django project. Points at a instance of Python's `dictConfig`_
|
|
configuration method by default.
|
|
|
|
If you set :setting:`LOGGING_CONFIG` to ``None``, the logging
|
|
configuration process will be skipped.
|
|
|
|
.. _dictConfig: http://docs.python.org/library/logging.config.html#configuration-dictionary-schema
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL

------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'/accounts/profile/'``
|
|
|
|
The URL where requests are redirected after login when the
|
|
``contrib.auth.login`` view gets no ``next`` parameter.
|
|
|
|
This is used by the :func:`~django.contrib.auth.decorators.login_required`
|
|
decorator, for example.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.5
|
|
|
|
This setting now also accepts view function names and
|
|
:ref:`named URL patterns <naming-url-patterns>` which can be used to reduce
|
|
configuration duplication since you no longer have to define the URL in two
|
|
places (``settings`` and URLconf).
|
|
For backward compatibility reasons the default remains unchanged.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: LOGIN_URL

|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'/accounts/login/'``

The URL where requests are redirected for login, especially when using the
|
|
:func:`~django.contrib.auth.decorators.login_required` decorator.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.5
|
|
|
|
This setting now also accepts view function names and
|
|
:ref:`named URL patterns <naming-url-patterns>` which can be used to reduce
|
|
configuration duplication since you no longer have to define the URL in two
|
|
places (``settings`` and URLconf).

|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
Absolute filesystem path to the directory that will hold :doc:`user-uploaded
|

---------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
URL that handles the media served from :setting:`MEDIA_ROOT`, used
|
|
for :doc:`managing stored files </topics/files>`. It must end in a slash if set
|
|
to a non-empty value.
|
|
|
|
Example: ``"http://media.example.com/"``
|
|
|
|
MESSAGE_LEVEL
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Default: `messages.INFO`
|
|

|
Sets the minimum message level that will be recorded by the messages
|
|
framework. See the :doc:`messages documentation </ref/contrib/messages>` for
|
|
more details.

|
messages.SUCCESS: 'success',
|
|
messages.WARNING: 'warning',
|
|
messages.ERROR: 'error',}
|
|
|
|
Sets the mapping of message levels to message tags. See the

:doc:`messages documentation </ref/contrib/messages>` for more details.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES
|
|
|
|
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES
|
|

|
.. setting:: MONTH_DAY_FORMAT
|
|
|
|
MONTH_DAY_FORMAT
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'F j'``
|
|
|
|
The default formatting to use for date fields on Django admin change-list
|
|
pages -- and, possibly, by other parts of the system -- in cases when only the
|
|
month and day are displayed.
|
|
|
|
For example, when a Django admin change-list page is being filtered by a date
|
|
drilldown, the header for a given day displays the day and month. Different
|
|
locales have different formats. For example, U.S. English would say
|
|
"January 1," whereas Spanish might say "1 Enero."
|
|
|
|
See :tfilter:`allowed date format strings <date>`. See also
|
|
:setting:`DATE_FORMAT`, :setting:`DATETIME_FORMAT`,
|
|
:setting:`TIME_FORMAT` and :setting:`YEAR_MONTH_FORMAT`.
|

|
|
NUMBER_GROUPING
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``0``
|
|
|
|
Number of digits grouped together on the integer part of a number.
|
|
|
|
Common use is to display a thousand separator. If this setting is ``0``, then
|
|
no grouping will be applied to the number. If this setting is greater than
|
|
``0``, then :setting:`THOUSAND_SEPARATOR` will be used as the separator between
|
|
those groups.
|
|
|
|
Note that if :setting:`USE_L10N` is set to ``True``, then the locale-dictated
|
|
format has higher precedence and will be applied instead.
|
|
|
|
See also :setting:`DECIMAL_SEPARATOR`, :setting:`THOUSAND_SEPARATOR` and
|
|
:setting:`USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: PASSWORD_RESET_TIMEOUT_DAYS
|
|
|
|
PASSWORD_RESET_TIMEOUT_DAYS
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``3``
|
|
|
|
The number of days a password reset link is valid for. Used by the
|
|
:mod:`django.contrib.auth` password reset mechanism.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: PREPEND_WWW
|
|
|
|
PREPEND_WWW
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
Whether to prepend the "www." subdomain to URLs that don't have it. This is only
|
|
used if :class:`~django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware` is installed
|
|
(see :doc:`/topics/http/middleware`). See also :setting:`APPEND_SLASH`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: PROFANITIES_LIST

|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``()`` (Empty tuple)
|

|
|
:setting:`COMMENTS_ALLOW_PROFANITIES` is ``False``.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: RESTRUCTUREDTEXT_FILTER_SETTINGS
|
|
|
|
RESTRUCTUREDTEXT_FILTER_SETTINGS
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``{}``
|
|
|
|
A dictionary containing settings for the ``restructuredtext`` markup filter from
|
|
the :doc:`django.contrib.markup application </ref/contrib/markup>`. They override
|
|
the default writer settings. See the Docutils restructuredtext `writer settings
|
|
docs`_ for details.

|
|
|
.. _writer settings docs: http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/config.html#html4css1-writer
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: ROOT_URLCONF
|
|
|
|
ROOT_URLCONF
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Default: Not defined
|
|
|
|
A string representing the full Python import path to your root URLconf. For example:
|
|
``"mydjangoapps.urls"``. Can be overridden on a per-request basis by
|
|
setting the attribute ``urlconf`` on the incoming ``HttpRequest``
|
|
object. See :ref:`how-django-processes-a-request` for details.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: SECRET_KEY
|
|
|
|
SECRET_KEY
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``''`` (Empty string)
|
|
|
|
A secret key for a particular Django installation. This is used to provide
|
|
:doc:`cryptographic signing </topics/signing>`, and should be set to a unique,
|
|
unpredictable value.
|
|
|
|
:djadmin:`django-admin.py startproject <startproject>` automatically adds a
|
|
randomly-generated ``SECRET_KEY`` to each new project.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
**Keep this value secret.**
|
|
|
|
Running Django with a known :setting:`SECRET_KEY` defeats many of Django's
|
|
security protections, and can lead to privilege escalation and remote code
|
|
execution vulnerabilities.
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.5
|
|
Django will now refuse to start if :setting:`SECRET_KEY` is not set.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER
|
|
|
|
SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.4
|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
A tuple representing a HTTP header/value combination that signifies a request
|
|
is secure. This controls the behavior of the request object's ``is_secure()``
|
|
method.
|
|
|
|
This takes some explanation. By default, ``is_secure()`` is able to determine
|
|
whether a request is secure by looking at whether the requested URL uses
|
|
"https://". This is important for Django's CSRF protection, and may be used
|
|
by your own code or third-party apps.
|
|
|
|
If your Django app is behind a proxy, though, the proxy may be "swallowing" the
|
|
fact that a request is HTTPS, using a non-HTTPS connection between the proxy
|
|
and Django. In this case, ``is_secure()`` would always return ``False`` -- even
|
|
for requests that were made via HTTPS by the end user.
|
|
|
|
In this situation, you'll want to configure your proxy to set a custom HTTP
|
|
header that tells Django whether the request came in via HTTPS, and you'll want
|
|
to set ``SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER`` so that Django knows what header to look
|
|
for.
|
|
|
|
You'll need to set a tuple with two elements -- the name of the header to look
|
|
for and the required value. For example::
|
|
|
|
SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO', 'https')
|
|
|
|
Here, we're telling Django that we trust the ``X-Forwarded-Proto`` header
|
|
that comes from our proxy, and any time its value is ``'https'``, then the
|
|
request is guaranteed to be secure (i.e., it originally came in via HTTPS).
|
|
Obviously, you should *only* set this setting if you control your proxy or
|
|
have some other guarantee that it sets/strips this header appropriately.
|
|
|
|
Note that the header needs to be in the format as used by ``request.META`` --
|
|
all caps and likely starting with ``HTTP_``. (Remember, Django automatically
|
|
adds ``'HTTP_'`` to the start of x-header names before making the header
|
|
available in ``request.META``.)
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
**You will probably open security holes in your site if you set this
|
|
without knowing what you're doing. And if you fail to set it when you
|
|
should. Seriously.**
|
|
|
|
Make sure ALL of the following are true before setting this (assuming the
|
|
values from the example above):
|
|
|
|
* Your Django app is behind a proxy.
|
|
* Your proxy strips the ``X-Forwarded-Proto`` header from all incoming
|
|
requests. In other words, if end users include that header in their
|
|
requests, the proxy will discard it.
|
|
* Your proxy sets the ``X-Forwarded-Proto`` header and sends it to Django,
|
|
but only for requests that originally come in via HTTPS.
|
|
|
|
If any of those are not true, you should keep this setting set to ``None``
|
|
and find another way of determining HTTPS, perhaps via custom middleware.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS
|
|
|
|
SEND_BROKEN_LINK_EMAILS
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
Whether to send an email to the :setting:`MANAGERS` each time somebody visits
|
|
a Django-powered page that is 404ed with a non-empty referer (i.e., a broken
|
|
link). This is only used if ``CommonMiddleware`` is installed (see
|
|
:doc:`/topics/http/middleware`). See also :setting:`IGNORABLE_404_URLS` and
|
|
:doc:`/howto/error-reporting`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: SERIALIZATION_MODULES
|
|
|
|
SERIALIZATION_MODULES
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: Not defined.
|
|
|
|
A dictionary of modules containing serializer definitions (provided as
|
|
strings), keyed by a string identifier for that serialization type. For
|
|
example, to define a YAML serializer, use::
|
|
|
|
SERIALIZATION_MODULES = { 'yaml' : 'path.to.yaml_serializer' }
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: SERVER_EMAIL
|
|
|
|
SERVER_EMAIL
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'root@localhost'``
|
|
|
|
The email address that error messages come from, such as those sent to
|
|
:setting:`ADMINS` and :setting:`MANAGERS`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: SESSION_COOKIE_AGE
|
|
|
|
SESSION_COOKIE_AGE
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``1209600`` (2 weeks, in seconds)
|
|
|
|
The age of session cookies, in seconds. See :doc:`/topics/http/sessions`.
|
|
|

|
|
SESSION_COOKIE_DOMAIN
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
The domain to use for session cookies. Set this to a string such as
|
|
``".example.com"`` for cross-domain cookies, or use ``None`` for a standard
|
|
domain cookie. See the :doc:`/topics/http/sessions`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY
|
|
|
|
SESSION_COOKIE_HTTPONLY
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``True``
|
|
|
|
Whether to use HTTPOnly flag on the session cookie. If this is set to
|
|
``True``, client-side JavaScript will not to be able to access the
|
|
session cookie.
|
|
|
|
HTTPOnly_ is a flag included in a Set-Cookie HTTP response header. It
|
|
is not part of the :rfc:`2109` standard for cookies, and it isn't honored
|
|
consistently by all browsers. However, when it is honored, it can be a
|
|
useful way to mitigate the risk of client side script accessing the
|
|
protected cookie data.
|
|
|
|
.. _HTTPOnly: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/HTTPOnly
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.4

|
|
|
|
Default: ``'sessionid'``
|
|
|
|
The name of the cookie to use for sessions. This can be whatever you want (but
|
|
should be different from :setting:`LANGUAGE_COOKIE_NAME`).
|
|
See the :doc:`/topics/http/sessions`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: SESSION_COOKIE_PATH
|
|
|
|
SESSION_COOKIE_PATH
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'/'``
|
|
|
|
The path set on the session cookie. This should either match the URL path of your
|
|
Django installation or be parent of that path.
|
|
|
|
This is useful if you have multiple Django instances running under the same
|
|
hostname. They can use different cookie paths, and each instance will only see
|
|
its own session cookie.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: SESSION_CACHE_ALIAS
|
|
|
|
SESSION_CACHE_ALIAS
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``default``

If you're using :ref:`cache-based session storage <cached-sessions-backend>`,
|
|
this selects the cache to use.

|
|
|
.. setting:: SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE

|
|
SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
Whether to use a secure cookie for the session cookie. If this is set to
|
|
``True``, the cookie will be marked as "secure," which means browsers may
|
|
ensure that the cookie is only sent under an HTTPS connection.
|
|
See the :doc:`/topics/http/sessions`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: SESSION_ENGINE
|
|
|
|
SESSION_ENGINE
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``django.contrib.sessions.backends.db``
|
|
|
|
Controls where Django stores session data. Valid values are:
|
|
|
|
* ``'django.contrib.sessions.backends.db'``
|
|
* ``'django.contrib.sessions.backends.file'``
|
|
* ``'django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache'``
|
|
* ``'django.contrib.sessions.backends.cached_db'``
|
|
* ``'django.contrib.sessions.backends.signed_cookies'``
|
|
|
|

|
SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|

|
|
|
|
SESSION_FILE_PATH
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
If you're using file-based session storage, this sets the directory in
|
|
which Django will store session data. See :doc:`/topics/http/sessions`. When
|
|
the default value (``None``) is used, Django will use the standard temporary
|
|
directory for the system.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: SESSION_SAVE_EVERY_REQUEST
|
|

|
|
If the :doc:`staticfiles</ref/contrib/staticfiles>` contrib app is enabled
|
|
(default) the :djadmin:`collectstatic` management command will collect static
|
|
files into this directory. See the howto on :doc:`managing static
|
|
files</howto/static-files>` for more details about usage.
|
|
|
|
.. warning::
|
|
|
|
This should be an (initially empty) destination directory for collecting
|
|
your static files from their permanent locations into one directory for
|
|
ease of deployment; it is **not** a place to store your static files
|
|
permanently. You should do that in directories that will be found by
|
|
:doc:`staticfiles</ref/contrib/staticfiles>`'s
|
|
:setting:`finders<STATICFILES_FINDERS>`, which by default, are
|
|
``'static/'`` app sub-directories and any directories you include in
|
|
:setting:`STATICFILES_DIRS`).

:ref:`media definitions<form-media-paths>` and the
|
|
:doc:`staticfiles app</ref/contrib/staticfiles>`.
|
|
|
|
It must end in a slash if set to a non-empty value.

|
|
of items to be merged into the context.
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.4
|
|
The ``django.core.context_processors.tz`` context processor
|

|
|
TEMPLATE_DEBUG
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
A boolean that turns on/off template debug mode. If this is ``True``, the fancy
|
|
error page will display a detailed report for any exception raised during
|
|
template rendering. This report contains the relevant snippet of the template,
|
|
with the appropriate line highlighted.
|
|
|
|
Note that Django only displays fancy error pages if :setting:`DEBUG` is ``True``, so
|
|
you'll want to set that to take advantage of this setting.
|
|
|
|
See also :setting:`DEBUG`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: TEMPLATE_DIRS

|
|
|
|
Default::
|
|
|
|
('django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
|
|
'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader')
|
|
|
|
A tuple of template loader classes, specified as strings. Each ``Loader`` class
|
|
knows how to import templates from a particular source. Optionally, a tuple can be
|
|
used instead of a string. The first item in the tuple should be the ``Loader``'s
|
|
module, subsequent items are passed to the ``Loader`` during initialization. See
|
|
:doc:`/ref/templates/api`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID

|
|
|
.. setting:: THOUSAND_SEPARATOR
|
|
|
|
THOUSAND_SEPARATOR
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``,`` (Comma)
|
|
|
|
Default thousand separator used when formatting numbers. This setting is
|
|
used only when :setting:`USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR` is ``True`` and
|
|
:setting:`NUMBER_GROUPING` is greater than ``0``.
|
|
|
|
Note that if :setting:`USE_L10N` is set to ``True``, then the locale-dictated
|
|
format has higher precedence and will be applied instead.
|
|
|
|
See also :setting:`NUMBER_GROUPING`, :setting:`DECIMAL_SEPARATOR` and
|
|
:setting:`USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR`.

|
|
|
|
TIME_FORMAT
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'P'`` (e.g. ``4 p.m.``)
|
|
|
|
The default formatting to use for displaying time fields in any part of the
|
|
system. Note that if :setting:`USE_L10N` is set to ``True``, then the
|
|
locale-dictated format has higher precedence and will be applied instead. See
|
|
:tfilter:`allowed date format strings <date>`.
|
|
|
|
See also :setting:`DATE_FORMAT` and :setting:`DATETIME_FORMAT`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: TIME_INPUT_FORMATS
|
|
|
|
TIME_INPUT_FORMATS
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``('%H:%M:%S', '%H:%M')``
|
|
|
|
A tuple of formats that will be accepted when inputting data on a time field.
|
|
Formats will be tried in order, using the first valid one. Note that these
|
|
format strings use Python's datetime_ module syntax, not the format strings
|
|
from the ``date`` Django template tag.
|
|
|
|
When :setting:`USE_L10N` is ``True``, the locale-dictated format has higher
|
|
precedence and will be applied instead.
|
|
|
|

.. setting:: TIME_ZONE
|
|
|
|
TIME_ZONE
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'America/Chicago'``
|
|
|
|
.. versionchanged:: 1.4
|
|
The meaning of this setting now depends on the value of :setting:`USE_TZ`.
|
|
|
|
A string representing the time zone for this installation, or
|
|
``None``. `See available choices`_. (Note that list of available
|
|
choices lists more than one on the same line; you'll want to use just
|
|
one of the choices for a given time zone. For instance, one line says
|
|
``'Europe/London GB GB-Eire'``, but you should use the first bit of
|
|
that -- ``'Europe/London'`` -- as your :setting:`TIME_ZONE` setting.)
|
|
|
|
Note that this isn't necessarily the time zone of the server. For example, one
|
|
server may serve multiple Django-powered sites, each with a separate time zone
|
|
setting.
|
|
|
|
When :setting:`USE_TZ` is ``False``, this is the time zone in which Django
|
|
will store all datetimes. When :setting:`USE_TZ` is ``True``, this is the
|
|
default time zone that Django will use to display datetimes in templates and
|
|
to interpret datetimes entered in forms.
|
|
|
|
Django sets the ``os.environ['TZ']`` variable to the time zone you specify in
|
|
the :setting:`TIME_ZONE` setting. Thus, all your views and models will
|
|
automatically operate in this time zone. However, Django won't set the ``TZ``
|
|
environment variable under the following conditions:
|
|
|
|
* If you're using the manual configuration option as described in
|
|
:ref:`manually configuring settings
|
|
<settings-without-django-settings-module>`, or
|
|
|
|
* If you specify ``TIME_ZONE = None``. This will cause Django to fall back to
|
|
using the system timezone. However, this is discouraged when :setting:`USE_TZ
|
|
= True <USE_TZ>`, because it makes conversions between local time and UTC
|
|
less reliable.
|
|
|
|
If Django doesn't set the ``TZ`` environment variable, it's up to you
|
|
to ensure your processes are running in the correct environment.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
Django cannot reliably use alternate time zones in a Windows environment.
|
|
If you're running Django on Windows, :setting:`TIME_ZONE` must be set to
|
|
match the system time zone.

|
.. setting:: TRANSACTIONS_MANAGED
|
|
|
|
TRANSACTIONS_MANAGED
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
Set this to ``True`` if you want to :ref:`disable Django's transaction
|
|
management <deactivate-transaction-management>` and implement your own.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: USE_ETAGS
|
|
|
|
USE_ETAGS
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
A boolean that specifies whether to output the "Etag" header. This saves
|
|
bandwidth but slows down performance. This is used by the ``CommonMiddleware``
|
|
(see :doc:`/topics/http/middleware`) and in the``Cache Framework``
|
|
(see :doc:`/topics/cache`).
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: USE_I18N
|
|
|
|
USE_I18N
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``True``
|
|
|
|
A boolean that specifies whether Django's translation system should be enabled.
|
|
This provides an easy way to turn it off, for performance. If this is set to
|
|
``False``, Django will make some optimizations so as not to load the
|
|
translation machinery.
|
|
|
|
See also :setting:`LANGUAGE_CODE`, :setting:`USE_L10N` and :setting:`USE_TZ`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: USE_L10N
|
|
|
|
USE_L10N
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
A boolean that specifies if localized formatting of data will be enabled by
|
|
default or not. If this is set to ``True``, e.g. Django will display numbers and
|
|
dates using the format of the current locale.
|
|
|
|
See also :setting:`LANGUAGE_CODE`, :setting:`USE_I18N` and :setting:`USE_TZ`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The default :file:`settings.py` file created by :djadmin:`django-admin.py
|
|
startproject <startproject>` includes ``USE_L10N = True`` for convenience.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR
|
|
|
|
USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
A boolean that specifies whether to display numbers using a thousand separator.
|
|
When :setting:`USE_L10N` is set to ``True`` and if this is also set to
|
|
``True``, Django will use the values of :setting:`THOUSAND_SEPARATOR` and
|
|
:setting:`NUMBER_GROUPING` to format numbers.
|
|
|
|
See also :setting:`DECIMAL_SEPARATOR`, :setting:`NUMBER_GROUPING` and
|
|
:setting:`THOUSAND_SEPARATOR`.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: USE_TZ
|
|
|
|
USE_TZ
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.4
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
A boolean that specifies if datetimes will be timezone-aware by default or not.
|
|
If this is set to ``True``, Django will use timezone-aware datetimes internally.
|
|
Otherwise, Django will use naive datetimes in local time.
|
|
|
|
See also :setting:`TIME_ZONE`, :setting:`USE_I18N` and :setting:`USE_L10N`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The default :file:`settings.py` file created by
|
|
:djadmin:`django-admin.py startproject <startproject>` includes
|
|
``USE_TZ = True`` for convenience.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST
|
|
|
|
USE_X_FORWARDED_HOST
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``False``
|
|
|
|
A boolean that specifies whether to use the X-Forwarded-Host header in
|
|
preference to the Host header. This should only be enabled if a proxy
|
|
which sets this header is in use.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: WSGI_APPLICATION
|
|
|
|
WSGI_APPLICATION
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
.. versionadded:: 1.4
|
|
|
|
Default: ``None``
|
|
|
|
The full Python path of the WSGI application object that Django's built-in
|
|
servers (e.g. :djadmin:`runserver`) will use. The :djadmin:`django-admin.py
|
|
startproject <startproject>` management command will create a simple
|
|
``wsgi.py`` file with an ``application`` callable in it, and point this setting
|
|
to that ``application``.
|
|
|
|
If not set, the return value of :func:`django.core.wsgi.get_wsgi_application`
|
|
will be used. In this case, the behavior of :djadmin:`runserver` will be
|
|
identical to previous Django versions.
|
|
|
|
.. setting:: YEAR_MONTH_FORMAT
|
|
|
|
YEAR_MONTH_FORMAT
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'F Y'``
|
|
|
|
The default formatting to use for date fields on Django admin change-list
|
|
pages -- and, possibly, by other parts of the system -- in cases when only the
|
|
year and month are displayed.
|
|
|
|
For example, when a Django admin change-list page is being filtered by a date
|
|
drilldown, the header for a given month displays the month and the year.
|
|
Different locales have different formats. For example, U.S. English would say
|
|
"January 2006," whereas another locale might say "2006/January."
|
|
|
|
See :tfilter:`allowed date format strings <date>`. See also
|
|
:setting:`DATE_FORMAT`, :setting:`DATETIME_FORMAT`, :setting:`TIME_FORMAT`
|
|
and :setting:`MONTH_DAY_FORMAT`.

|
|
.. setting:: X_FRAME_OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
X_FRAME_OPTIONS
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Default: ``'SAMEORIGIN'``
|
|
|
|
The default value for the X-Frame-Options header used by
|
|
:class:`~django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware`. See the
|
|
:doc:`clickjacking protection </ref/clickjacking/>` documentation.
