Hi,

The site entry is usually created when the syncdb is run.
What Django version are you using ? If you're using the development version, please remove it and install a stable version.

I'm going through the django tutorial and I'm having difficulties at the beginning of the second part...

It tells me to create the admin site, and browse to 127.0.0.1:8000/admin to log in to the admin site I just created...  But when I do that, I get the python server telling me that the site is not found -- it's not the usual apache web-server 404 error, it's definitely coming from the python server, so I know that's running properly.

Searching through some of the other posts, I came across one responder who asked someone with this same problem to find their site ID in their settings.py file.  Mine says the site ID is 1.  So, armed with that information, I go to the python shell, and type the following:
>>> from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
>>> Site.objects.get(id=1)

And I get the following in response:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/models/manager.py", line 131, in get
    return self.get_query_set().get(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 366, in get
    % self.model._meta.object_name)
DoesNotExist: Site matching query does not exist.

So, it seems that the entire site doesn't exist?  I've followed every step in the tutorial exactly, with no problems so far...  Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,

I'm using 1.4

I finally figured out that if I just create the site manually, everything works fine...  I don't know why it wasn't being created when syncdb was run...
