commit d8f3f603f0b75e8cf319bf9462392737751f2772

Use a custom local_settings.py to customize the application
The old scheme of copying a sample to settings.py has been changed
to using a local_settings.py where only custom settings have to be
defined.
If you have an existing instance of damned-lies, rename your settings.py
to local_settings.py, and only keep the custom settings in it.

-1 - Rename settings_sample.py to settings.py and review settings
+1 - Create a local_settings.py and overwrite settings to match your requirements
+ and your configuration layouts. Typical settings to customize include:
+ DATABASES, DEBUG, TEMPLATE_DEBUG, STATIC_SERVE, ADMINS, MANAGERS, SCRATCHDIR and
+ various EMAIL settings.
(please refer to Database configuration below for more
informations).
SCRATCHDIR should point to an existing directory, writable by
the web application user.
+ Note also that if you don't want to really send mail when testing the app, you
+ can set the EMAIL_BACKEND setting as follows to redirect mail to the console:
+ EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
