manage.py runserver not working

Question

I am new to django and python in general, so pardon me for any simple mistakes I may be doing. I am trying to setup my first django project on my local windows vista machine. I have created the project successfully with no problems. The issue I am coming across is when my settings.py has values for my database keys, the manage.py runserver command is failing. If I have values in settings before I run the command, as soon as I run it I get errors. If I have already run the command and the server is running, as soon as I edit the settings file with values, the errors show up in my still open command prompt. The inner most exception seems to "Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MYSQLdb". If I leave the settings.py blank, the command executes with no problems.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Answer 1

Install the MySQLdb module, or the oursql module along with the django-oursql connector.

Answer 2

You don't have mysql-python module installed, thats why you getting that error.

You could find that module at

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/MySQL-python/
