django-admin.py startproject mysite

[Santiago Caracol]

Hello,

the Django (1.3) tutorial says:

From the command line, cd into a directory where you’d like to store
your code, then run the command django-admin.py startproject mysite.
This will create a mysite directory in your current directory.

When I run

django-admin.py startproject mysite,

I get this error:

Unknown command: 'startproject'
Type 'django-admin.py help' for usage.


Using django-admin.py help, I get these subcommands:

Available subcommands:
changepassword
cleanup
collectstatic
compilemessages
createcachetable
createsuperuser
dbshell
diffsettings
dumpdata
findstatic
flush
inspectdb
loaddata
makemessages
reset
runfcgi
runserver
shell
sql
sqlall
sqlclear
sqlcustom
sqlflush
sqlindexes
sqlinitialdata
sqlreset
sqlsequencereset
startapp
syncdb
test
testserver
validate

Does the Django tutorial still match reality?

Hi Santiago,

I think there is some problem in your installation of Django 1.3 , i installed it myself and there is no problem with 

django-admin.py startproject mysite

even the help of django-admin-py lists startproject command

I think  re-installation can work.

Best Regards,

Jitendra

Yes, startproject is still a valid command for django-admin.py. Do you have the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE set to something? That would cause the behavior you are seeing, per: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#startproject-projectname

Greetings all;

I have a problem also with the "django-admin.py startproject mysite"
command

when i type it, it didn't create the directory mysite instead it opens
the django-admin.py in a notepad++

I don't know how to fix this?
any ideas please.

[Yongning Liang]

type this in Windows

python django-admin.py startproject mysite

if it doesn't work, make sure that both python and django-admin in you system PATH

[Daisy]

Thank you for your reply,
Python is in my system PATH but How to add django-admin in my path. I
mean what will be the enviroment variable for django-admin that i have
to put in my system PATH?

[Yongning Liang]

The path of django-admin.py is YOUR_PYTHON_PATH\Lib\site-packages\django\bin
after this, you can just type django-admin.py startproject mysite to start a project.

but make sure that your .py file default open by Python, if not, right-click(Shift + right-click in XP) a .py file and select open with..., choose Python, or remove file association in you Notepad++

[Daisy]

I have just did what you said and the result was (no project created)
and the output was:
--------------------------------------------


Usage: django-admin.py subcommand [options] [args]

Options:
-v VERBOSITY, --verbosity=VERBOSITY
Verbosity level; 0=minimal output, 1=normal
output,
2=all output
--settings=SETTINGS The Python path to a settings module, e.g.
"myproject.settings.main". If this isn't
provided, the
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable
will be
used.
--pythonpath=PYTHONPATH

"/home/djangoprojects/myproject".

Type 'django-admin.py help <subcommand>' for help on a specific
subcommand.

Available subcommands:
cleanup

--------------------------------------------------------

while surfing the net I found this solution, write in the console

python C:\Python27\Scripts\django-admin.py startproject mysite


I don't know if there is another solution instead of writing the above
line every time or not.

thanks for help.

if you tried the command django-admin.py startproject mysite and it output the usage, it mean the PATH of Python and django-admin.py is correct, maybe you type a wrong subcommand.

BTW, are you install Django with setuptools(python setup.py install)?

--

[Daisy]

yes.I have installed it with the setuptools (python setup.py install)
is that affect in my issue?

[Yongning Liang]

it isn't. I use python 2.7 x64, and install django 1.3 with setuptools, it works well.

Start your site with python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

0.0.0.0 is not an actual IP address. You can’t put it in your browser. Instead, you need to find your computer’s IP address and use that. How you find it depends on your OS, but once you do, then you can visit http://192.168.0.5:8000/ (for example).

Muhammad,

Use the command ifconfig (Linux, Mac) or ipconfig (Windows) to
see your local IP address.
