Re: set up database engine

2010-04-08 Thread yangyang
Hi Thierry,

Thanks for the reply. I understand what SQLight is but I don't know
how to write the code in my Mac shell... This is what I wrote:


yang-wangs-computer:~/applications/mysite yangwang$
database_engine='sqlite3'
yang-wangs-computer:~/applications/mysite yangwang$
database_name='trydb'
yang-wangs-computer:~/applications/mysite yangwang$ python manage.py
syncdb


It returns message like the database engine isn't installed. what's
missing here?

Thank you again!

Yang

I mean the tutorial only tells you "edit settings" but doesn't tell
you how. Excuse me if this is obvious to most of people.

database engine problem

2010-04-05 Thread yangyang
I followed the tutorial and set up the database engine as SQLight and
it seemed to be successful. However, when I try to do "python
manage.py syncdb", it returns error message like
File "manage.py", line 11, in 
execute_manager(settings)

I wonder what went wrong... Could anyone help me out here? Thanks!

installation question

2010-03-21 Thread yangyang
I'm trying to download Django on my Mac OS X 10.4.11. I have download
Python 2.6.4. And then the online Tutorial says this:

tar xzvf Django-1.1.1.tar.gz
cd Django-1.1.1
sudo python setup.py install

I wonder where should I run this? By Python Shell or what? Sorry if
this seems to be a stupid question but I'm a programming beginner...

Thanks!
