Hi,

I'm running the latest django 1.4 alpha from the repository.

I have a django project hosted on bitbucket, I run the bitbucket "clone" command and pull down my code onto my server. But when I go into my project folder and run the command...

"./manage.py runfcgi method=threaded host=127.0.0.1 port=8080"

I get the following error...

"manage.py: command not found"

If I start a project directly on my server running the "startproject" command it works fine, it's only when I clone a project onto my server I get this.

Is there anything I can do to make my cloned projects work? As I need to be able to pull the latest project versions from my repositories.

Thanks.

Put python in front of it or check permissions to make it executable?

The permissions were OK, but putting python in front of it seems to have worked(I have database connection issue now, but once I fix that I reckon it will be work)!

Thanks Yves, big help!

I don't know about Windows (if anyone does, please say so), but in a *nix OS putting this (don't remember its official name) at the top of your file can help:

#!/usr/bin/env python

I opened my "manage.py" file to insert the line, but it was already there on the first line.

It's called a 'shebang line,' and it's ignored in Windows.

It's important in *nix, but the file still has to be executable.

If you invoke Python manually then the line isn't necessary.

Maybe you have Python installed somewhere that's not described in the shebang line?

Don't know, don't know your environment.  Glad that your stuff works now :) .

Hi,

Put python (Location of install python directory. mainly C:\Python26\) in your windows environment variable path also with django-admin.py path.

Thanks,
