I followed the instructions on that website. I used kfind to find all files/folders containing PIL. I removed PIL.pth files and PIL folders from several places. Then i tried importing PIL in python prompt and got the error. - no pil in the system.
Then i reinstalled PIL. tested it and got the validation error message again. Then i deleted django, i deleted it under python2.6 site- packages, and dist packages, i deleted the unpacked folder also. decompressed the tar file, built and reinstalled it again. Still no changes. So i guess only thing to try is either troubleshoot the fields.py and find out why it gives the error and if it can or cannot import the pil, or reinstall ubuntu and start from clean system. Or do you have any other ideas? Alan. On Aug 19, 5:41 am, Malcolm MacKinnon <mmack3...@gmail.com> wrote: > For what it's worth, here's what helped me about a month ago.
