You create the username and password, and grant permissions at https://tommy.heliohost.org:2083/frontend/paper_lantern/psql/index.html Depending on what you create it will look something like this: username = iniesta_user
database = iniesta_db
password = <whatever>
port = 5432
host = localhost
Take a look at http://wiki.helionet.org/Django The .htaccess file is where you define your static file directories that won't be processed through dispatch.wsgi RewriteRule ^(media/.*)$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^(admin_media/.*)$ - [L]
You can add as many directories as you want or change media and admin_media to whatever you want, but whatever you put in there will be served directly from apache to the browser without being processed through django.
