• Modify the following variables in settings_local.py based on the the deployment environment. An explanation of each is included in the file.
  • PROJECT_URL
  • DATABASES
    • default
    • rds_wharehouse
  • AMAZON_SMTP
  • MANAGERS
  • PROCESSING_INTERVAL_DURATION
  • MINIMUM_IMPORT_EMAIL_COUNT
  • TEST_EMAIL_RECIPIENT
  • TEST_EMAIL_SOURCE_HTML_URI

1. Be sure the TEST_EMAIL_RECIPIENT, TEST_EMAIL_SOURCE_HTML_URI, and TEXT_EMAIL_SOURCE_TEXT_URI variables are set appropriately
2. Be sure the application's database credentials have CREATE DATABASE privileges. This is needed because separate test databases are created during the testing process.
3. Be sure the application can connect out to Amazon Web Services.
4. From the command line, run python manage.py test manager in the project's root directory.
