"python manage.py runserver" creates not tables (tutorial)

[angelika]

I've started the Django tutorial and I get as far as running python
manage.py runserver, but when I do, nothing happens. I get no messages
and the database connected to the project is still empty. The database
exists and I've made no modifications to any of the files created,
accept for the info to connect to the database. My settings.py has
this snippet in it:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
# 'django.contrib.admin',
# Uncomment the next line to enable admin documentation:
# 'django.contrib.admindocs',
)

If django is not able to find or connect to the database, I would
expect there to be at least an error message, right? Is there a
command I can run make sure? Any other ideas?

Christ, I totally messed up this post. I did not mean "python
manage.py runserver" but "python manage.py syncdb". That is the
command that does not create any tables. Sorry.

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/11494 - it may be due to this. To
check it out go to the shell and try:

from yourapp import * - if it fails, fix the import error and try syncdb
again.

Thanks, Kenneth.

I'm new to both Python and Django. I'm doing the tutorial and I named
the site mysite, to keep it simple. Does that mean mysite is the name
of the app? And the command should be:

from mysite import *

I did that, but nothing happened. Same as with 'python manage.py
runserver'. No messages, no errors, nothing.

you must have created an app under mysite - probably named 'polls' under

go to the mysite directory and type
python manage.py shell

the python shell will appear. Then type:

from polls import *

(this assumes that you have an app named polls, and that you have
populated your models.py)

I'm following the tutorial on this page:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/intro/tutorial01/

In it, the 'python manage.py syncdb' command is supposed to be run to
create tables for the apps in the INSTALLED_APPS setting, right? And
this bit seems to come before you start creating an app. Or have I
misunderstood it?

*after* creating the app and adding at least *one* model.

You do not need to run syncdb before creating your first app, syncdb search for the apps in INSTALLED_APPS and sync their models with the database, so you can run it anytime. Note that if you just change an existing model syncdb won't sync anything, you'll need migrations for that.

Well, here I am, confessing my stupidity to the internet. Like I said,
I'm new to both Python and Django. I've been trying to run the
commands in the same terminal window where I ran the 'python manage.py
runserver'. When I run it in a separate window, it all works as
expected. The tables are created.

Sorry for taking up your time.
Until next time,

What about if you do a

python manage.py sqlall

From the settings file, I do not see any of your apps added in the
list of installed apps, like

INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',

'mysite.news',
.....,
)

Martin.

[Andre Terra]

$ python manage.py dbshell

If you can't reach a database shell through that, then there's something wrong with your database setup.
