Removing warning messages when starting up server

[sotirac]

How do I go about removing the warning messages "WARNING:root:Could
not read datastore data from /tmp/django_google-app-engine-
django.datastore"? I tried creating the files using the touch command
(touch tmp/django_google-app-engine-django.datastore) and that gave
more errors than before.

1. Grab the latest copy of "google-app-engine-django" from subversion
(svn co http://google-app-engine-django.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/)

2. Invoked the command "python manage.py runserver"

The output that I get is:

python manage.py runserver

engine-django.datastore

sotirac,

These warning messages are probably not a big deal unless you are going to use the gae image manipulation API.  You can at least get rid of these messages talking about PIL by installing the python imaging library.

See the help on installing PIL on the gae website: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/images/installingPIL.html

Hi sotirac,

I saw the same problem as you.
I fixed the "No module named PIL" by installing PIL (sudo apt-get
install python-imaging).
And then the datastore warnings go away as soon as you've stored
something to the local datastore.

This happens once you start doing things with you app.

So don't worry about the warning, it'll go away once you've saved
something.

Cheers,
Josh
