setup a local envrionment for openshift wsgi app

We do want a local development environment for debugging, etc. As my previous posts, we are using Python2.6 Django WSGI as backend for our mobile app, so, it's pretty easy to setup a local environment, actually, it's just a WSGI deployment.

But, since openshift gear using many environment variables, so the key steps here are copy those env vars to your local box, and export them. The another thing that matters a lot is Database setup, with help of Django Framework, i just need to create a database with the same name as it is in openshift, and then run syncdb.

The issue bit me was Selinux settings, so you may need pay some attentions to it. If you have an admin beside you, drop these setup stuff to him, :).
