[Toaster][zeus] stuck on the 'landing' page

[David Marec <david.marec@lapinbilly.eu>]

Hi put-in-quarantine folks,

I would like to setup of toaster web interface that allows user to build 
yocto images on their own.

To achieve this, I installed a debian-9[1] linux distro in a VM and read 
this handbook:

* https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/3.0/toaster-manual/toaster-manual.html

in order to install toaster from the zeus branch in a *production 
environment*.


I hit the following issues:

* The migration process triggers following error:

 >> Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes

… solved by creating a UTF-8 compliant database:

`CREATE DATABASE toaster_data CHARACTER SET utf8 DEFAULT COLLATE 
utf8_general_ci`

* Apache failed to load django:

 > mod_wsgi (pid=4529): Target WSGI script 
'/var/www/toaster/poky/bitbake/lib/toaster/toastermain/wsgi.py' cannot 
be loaded as Python module.
 > mod_wsgi (pid=4529): Exception occurred processing WSGI script 
'/var/www/toaster/poky/bitbake/lib/toaster/toastermain/wsgi.py'.
 > Traceback (most recent call last):
 > File "/var/www/toaster/poky/bitbake/lib/toaster/toastermain/wsgi.py", 
line 31, in <module>
 > from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
 > ImportError: No module named 'django'

I tried with no success to grant www-data group to access to 
bitbake/lib/toaster.
Finally, I *pip-installed* the toaster requirements into the base 
system, not in a virtualdev (--user) environment.
I do have to install mysqlclient with pip also.

Finally, I a get a working webserver.

```sh
$ toaster@debian9:~/poky/build$ source ../bitbake/bin/toaster start noweb
```

But now, I 'am stuck on a "landing" page, where I can't do nothing but 
wait for build captures.
- unless the django admin pages sounds ok  -

At the time I was running the rocko branch, I was able to get a full 
feature web interface running in a local environment
(no sql server, no web server).

How can  I give access to  this pages while  running in a production 
environment ?


Regards,

[1]: Debian 10 updated its python base to release 3.7 and the django 
release shipped with yocto fails to run in this environment.
