Amazon EC2 AMI pre-configured with Django Stack

Question

What is the best available EC2 AMI configured with:

• Django Stack
• MySql Installed and configured
• Apache or any other Server

After searching I have found only one bitnami djangostack. Have any of you ever tried it? Are there any other options.

Answer 1

Using Ubuntu is quick and the installation part is quick and easy. You can use the latest Ubuntu AMI from canonical to build up a Pylons stack. Use this:

sudo tasksel --section server

Then you get Apache and MySQL by selecting the LAMP components:

sudo apt-get install python-django python-Django-doc

This will get you Django. See here for more details.
