Editing Django Development with IIS (section)

== Prerequisites ==

=== BitNami Django Stack ===

The [http://bitnami.org/stack/django BitNami Django Stack] is a bundle of installers for the whole environment necessary to run Django on a Windows server. It includes Python, MySQL, PostgreSQL, an Apache server, and Django.

The installation prompts for a port number to use for the Apache server. 8080 is commonly used.

The Apache server can then be reached with `<nowiki>http://localhost:8080</nowiki>`. Or, after opening the port in Windows Firewall, the server can be reached on the LAN with `<nowiki>http://[MACHINE_NAME]:8080</nowiki>` or `<nowiki>http://[LOCAL_IP]:8080</nowiki>`.

=== Changing the Apache server port number ===
To change the port number of the Apache server after installation:
* Edit the `Listen` value in the `[DJANGO_INSTALL_ROOT]/apache2/conf/httpd.conf` file. 
* Restart the server.
