Hi,

Thought I'd update you all and bring this thread to a close.

The issue was down to a typo on my part. This was corrected and symlink 
recreated, things seem to be ok now.
Thanks for the help/advice.  

Thanx,
Tim

Hi,

We already have django developers here and talking to them they would like 
to move to 1.4 
but they have not had any meaningful discussions with all the interested 
parties to know when this is likely to be.

I'll pass your advice back to them and see what happens though knowing the 
pace this place works at don't hold your breath.

Thanx,
Tim

Hi,

Thanks for your comments on version numbers, but moving to 1.4 isn't a 
quick option for me/us so I'm stuck on 1.1 for a while.

Trying to run the app and instead of getting the "welcome" page I get the 
following, see below.

Not withstanding my version issue, anyone got any ideas on this.

Re: Django newbie with issues

2012-09-11 Thread Morrti
Hi,

We did try things with v1.5, but that also failed. Looking further it seems 
that my branch on git was wrong.
Moving to the correct one for 1.1 has seemed to have corrected things, well 
we got past that issue.
I'm going to continue with the tutorial now and see how that goes.

Thanx,
Tim

Django newbie with issues

2012-09-11 Thread Morrti
Hi,

I'm a total newbie to Django and I'm trying to follow the build your first 
app tutorial from the site 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/intro/tutorial01/ but have soon run 
into problems, please see below. This is as a result of running the  python 
manage.py runserver command. 

If anyone can help, I believe I'm running version 1.1 of django, not sure 
what else you may want to know.

Thanx,

python manage.py runserver
Validating models...
