Django questions: setting the port number and the using an existing database

I have a mini project that I'd like to start on port 2000. How do I do this?

Also, how would I set up the project with an existing database?

What Django books did you find helpful?

When you're in the directory you want to be in...

python ./manager.py runserver 2000

You can sync a given database by adding the name to DATABASE_NAME in settings.py, as well as doing a python manager.py syncdb in the terminal.

Also, a quick google would have led you to the Django Book. I don't understand how you haven't come across this yet?

Use ./manage.py inspectdb to create a draft of your models.py file to use with the DB. You will have to separate it out into the appropriate apps, and update field types and relationships as necessary.
