My settings.py file looks like this: DATABASE_ENGINE = 'sqlite3' # 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'ado_mssql'. DATABASE_NAME = '/usr/bin/scripts/mysite/books' # Or path to database file if using sqlite3. DATABASE_USER = '' # Not used with sqlite3. DATABASE_PASSWORD = '' # Not used with sqlite3. DATABASE_HOST = '' # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3. DATABASE_PORT = '' # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
I do not have a database file yet. I am just setting this up. I ran the interactive shell with: python manage.py shell. Then entered: In [1]: from django.db import connection In [2]: cursor = connection.cursor() Here is where it bombed: ---> 58 self.connection = Database.connect(**kwargs) This is the error message: OperationalError: unable to open database file Am I supposed to already have a database file? I have been trying to follow the examples given in djangobook.com, and I don't see where I was supposed to create a file before running those commands. DATABASE_NAME is set to where I want the file to go. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
