OS: Ubuntu 10.04 I am learning web developing with Django.I downloaded and installed python-mysql but i couldn't connect.I think problem is database settings. Here is the process:
django-admin.py startproject mysite #creating a project and a mysite folder files in 'mysite' folder: /__init__.py /urls.py /manage.py /views.py /settings.py Then i edited the 'settings.py' file.There are alse database settings in it. Here are the settings: DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql' DATABASE_NAME = 'mydb' DATABASE_USER = 'me' DATABASE_PASSWORD = 'pwd' DATABASE_HOST = '' DATABASE_PORT = '' then i write the codes below with terminal: python manage.py shell from django.db import connection cursor=connection.cursor() Then the error occurs as: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/ base.py", line 99, in cursor self.connection = Database.connect(**kwargs) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/MySQLdb/__init__.py", line 74, in Connect return Connection(*args, **kwargs) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 170, in __init__ super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs2) OperationalError: (2002, "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)") It looks like that error occurs from DATABASE_HOST but i don't think so because when using MySQL DATABASE_HOST may be left blank -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
