I have now used all your suggestions.. 1) Installed in C:\Python25\ (Marcelo Barbero) 2)Installed Python 2.5 instead of Python 2.6 (Karen Tracey) and finally 3)Added the environment variables in "path" (not PATH, should i create a new one named PATH????) for both django and python.
I installed django and postgreSQL following it stepwise from http://thinkhole.org/wp/django-on-windows/ but however.... now when i reach the command of testing django i still am getting the following error C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\django>django-admin.py startproject testproject 'django-admin.py' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. what sholud i do now....????
