Configuring Django to use a MySQL-Server via SSL

Currently, I'm using Django to develop some internally used applications. For one of them, I had to use a SSL connection to access a MySQL database. As development environment, I'm using Fedora 17, of course.

During that process, I ran into two bugs:

Splitting up django models

1. Create models folder unter myapp

2. Delete models.py under myapp

3. Add

   class Meta:
       app_label='myapp'
   

   to each model

4. Add for each model something like

   from myModelFile import myModel
   

   to models/__init__.py
