Let me start like this... "I wanted to develop a forum like application, i run WinXP, b'coz of very less HDD space.. i couldn't install linux on my machine, so i opted for VMWare & got OpenSUSE installed.. I downloaded Django and installed as instructed in documentation, Every thing worked fine till the step.."python manage.py runserver" after this i got that "welcome page 'Congrats' page" After this i wanted to install database.. as mentioned in documentation, i did install mysql using YaST in OpenSUSE.. when i typed "mysql" in terminal it showed an error -- " Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)") " I tried to check the error and correct what had gone wrong.. I Google 'd though i found info like.. there r different versions of "MySQL" for python and all... i even reinstalled it.. gave me the same error... unable to proceed further... That's when i found this group and mailed my problem... The Django Documentation gives a clear info of Sqllite 2/3 usage but not MySQL.. So what would u recommend me to install and work on..? Can u please explain me the Procedure ? Thank You.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
