I was trying out the tutorial "Writing your first Django app, part 1"
at http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/intro/tutorial01/.
The configuration is as follows: Windows XP SP2, Python 2.5.2,
Django 1.3.
The tutorial succeeded up to the stage of creating a project and
demonstration the "Welcome to Django" page.
But when it came to database setup I am having the following problem.
I have modified the settings.py file with the following entries:
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': 'E:/Users/python/mysite/
mysite.db',
Now when I run
python manage.py syncdb
I get an error DatabaseError: unable to open database file
But the file mysite.db is created in the folder.
The file and folder has write permission for all users.
The full output of the command is as follows:
E:\Users\python\mysite>python manage.py syncdb
Traceback (most recent call last):
