if you set sqlite3, I tried myself, you should also need to install pysqlite2 package, and also need to set DATABASE_NAME variable, and also need to use sqlite3 command tool to create a database file, django-admin.py will not create one for you. It's my experience. -- I like python! My Blog: http://www.donews.net/limodou NewEdit Maillist: http://groups.google.com/group/NewEdit
