    /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
    my-computer:~/Django-1.1.1 mycomp$ export PATH=/Users/mycomp/bin:$PATH

Answer 1

You need to run manage.py from the root folder of your project. Looks like you are trying from the Django install folder.
