Re: setting up new django project

HI

You should have a look at virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper.

Hello, this is my first time posting to a list!
 I am running python 2.7 with django 1.4 installed on Ubuntu 12.04
I am having trouble creating new projects with django. Whenever I use
the command:
Code:

sudo /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py
startproject cms

I get errors or permission denied messages but if I use:
Code:

django-admin.py startproject cms

Everything seems to work correctly. I know at some point I created a
sym link in:
Code:

/usr/local/bin

but is this the proper way to do this? Should I be using the full path
instead? Also, why is django found in dist-packages instead of site-
packages in the python directory? The books I am using are telling me
the python files should be located in site-packages.

I also noticed that django "startproject" created two directories
called "cms" one nested inside the other. Is this the default
behavior, and why?


I am also having trouble setting up the sqlite3 back-end and I keep
getting the error:

Code:
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/db/backends/
sqlite3/base.py", line 281, in _cursor
   self._sqlite_create_connection()
 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/db/backends/
sqlite3/base.py", line 271, in _sqlite_create_connection
   self.connection = Database.connect(**kwargs)
pysqlite2.dbapi2.OperationalError: unable to open database file


Thanks in advance.
