This is a modified version of the original "openshift/django-example" provided by openshift, so it uses the MySQL database instead of SQLite. You can view the original example code here: https://github.com/openshift/django-example

Create a python-2.6 application

rhc app create -a django -t python-2.6

Add the MySQL cartridge.

rhc cartridge add mysql-5.1 -a django 

Add this upstream repo

cd django
git remote add upstream -m master git://github.com/rugebiker/openshift-django-mysql.git
git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master

Then push the repo upstream

git push

Now you should be able to checkout your site

http://django-$yournamespace.rhcloud.com

To create the admin user and password, access via SSH to your repo on openshift. You can check your SSH info by doing

rhc domain

When you are logged in to the server, do this

python-2.6/virtenv/bin/python app-root/repo/wsgi/openshift/manage.py createsuperuser

And write the info it asks you for, and that's it (:

Buena suerte!
