Settings
========

This project relies extensively on environment settings which **will not work with Apache/mod_wsgi setups**. It has been deployed successfully with both Gunicorn/Nginx and even uWSGI/Nginx.

For configuration purposes, the following table maps environment variables to their Django setting and project settings:

Simplify Mailgun settings When creating a Mailgun add-on on Heroku, the app gets some environment variables by default: MAILGUN_API_KEY MAILGUN_DOMAIN However, the cookiecutter names do not match and requires a manual step from the user deploying. It's used elsewhere but shouldn't harm the other deployment methods to rename these variables. While updating the docs I noticed a variable that appear unused DJANGO_MAILGUN_SERVER_NAME so this removes it from the documentation. 2018-03-05 20:56:45 +03:00			`MAILGUN_DOMAIN MAILGUN_SENDER_DOMAIN n/a raises error`
