Title says it all really. Have just installed Django 1.8, can test django version and get correct response so am *fairly* happy it's installed correctly. I have had Python 2.7 installed and been using perfectly for several months.

Altered the PATH variable as discussed so it points to correct directory.

However when I run...

django-admin.py startproject mysite

The mysite folder is created - but it is empty, none of the following is created...

mysite/
    manage.py
    mysite/
        __init__.py
        settings.py
        urls.py
        wsgi.py

All tips gratefully received!

Many thanks,

D.P.

Hi,

Are there any error messages?

Is there already an existing mysite folder?

What method did you use to install django? Did you really install django 1.8, not 1.7?
