ya that is where I am at right now. I am trying to get my computer to a point where I can then focus on getting the site uploaded.
I am having problems getting the scripts that the previous coder made and also getting manage.py to see or find SDK of google app engine. I asked the ceo to ask the old programmer about what he meant about path stuff. So currently I followed his directions and put manage.py in the app folder but when I ran it in terminal I get a Cannot find SDK error. I mean it's frustrating. I spent about 3 weeks and I am only getting 75 bucks for this. It took up alot of my time just to download the kit and install it. and do that Django package installation. and other packages. Now after doing that. I took a look at the website files given to me from the previous programmer. I am struggling on getting the development area to have no errors so I can focus on the coding part. I have some experience with python and do know the lango. That's not the problem. I just have to look at how the pervious programmer stored data. I don't have problems with doing the changes to the site and uploading it. I am doing this will going to college full time so I am stressed out. The ceo even calls me at times at midnight asking how far I am on the project. He told me he is getting concern about the project. At the start of the job I was never told I had to use google apps that was unstil I was done with the website addons coded in css and html on my server. I then thought he had a hosting services where I just use a panel to upload the files. Yet I was wrong he tells me he uses google servers. I then was like what? I never knew google does that. I never heard anything about that. I ask him if he was sure it's google. He said he was pretty sure. So I thought that google must have it and would provide a upload cpanel to load in the scripts. So I ask for the login and stuff and he made an account and then contacted the old program to get guided on what to do to make my account. Then he told me I had to download google apps engine. I then knew that this must be something big. I was thinking in my head why would a hosting serivce provider need to give a engine out. So then he told me out flat that I need to know python and know how to use google apps engine. I told I know python but never done anything heavy with it. I never used google apps and don't know where to go. So he said don't worry if you have questions I can ask the old programmer. So this is where we are at. Usally when I ask the ceo to ask something to the old programmer this takes time to get a reply. Cause the old programmer isn't working at this company anymore and I am sure he looks at his e-mail later on in the day. So this going back and forth is costing me time and the ceo is getting impatient. from what I know. I don't have to code anything heavily. I just have to make modifications and that is it. yet still have that error where manage.py dosen't find the SDK of google apps even though google apps is installed on my system. So looks like the manage.py dosen't know where google apps is located for some reason. I don't know if I have to add a path on manage.py to point to where the python script of the SDK is located at?
