RE: [Suspected Spam] mysql problems after upgrading to django 1.3

Try mysql from the command line, make sure the service is running.
Sometimes the install does not set it up to start on a reboot.

Make sure you did not specify the port (socket) either when you
installed or in django -- usually it's 3306 on a pc, don't know about
mac.

Subject: [Suspected Spam] mysql problems after upgrading to django 1.3

hi :)
I'm fairly new to django. I'm using it on mac os 10.5.8. I installed
django 1.2.4 and created a small project that communicated with a
mysql database. Everything was good.

Then I upgraded to 1.3, followed uninstall instructions, installed the
new version, everything seemed good. Except now I can't run my old
app because I get a mysql error: (it's lengthy, sorry!)

python manage.py runserver
Validating models...

---------------------

Things I have tried:
-uninstalling django again and re-installing
-uninstalling the python's mysqldb and reinstalling

Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
