Newbie: ImportError during syncdb

[David]

Dear django users,

I am new to django and have an ImportError: No module named bookmarks
problem.

It seems that as I tried to syncdb django does not recognize the
bookmarks module I have created before. In the past I was able to
syncdb, hence my confusion.

I am trying to teach myself by following "Learning Website Development
with Django" by Ayman Hourieh.

I am not working in a virtualenv.

Thanks for your guidance and hints!

David


settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'django_bookmarks.bookmarks',
)

What the name of the app folder? I think its just django_bookmarks.

Let say for example i am going to create new app say bookmarks then i will do something like "python manage.py startapp bookmarks" likewise whatever name you have passed in place of bookmarks. Just place it inside INSTALLED_APPS.

Hi David,

Instead of specifying ''django_bookmarks.bookmarks'' in 'INSTALLED_APPS' i would suggest you to use your app name which you have created e.g someting like as below:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',

    'bookmarks',
)

I am assuming over here as you have kept your app name as 'bookmarks'.

Dear Robin and Jay,

thanks, I was able to solve my problem: setting.py just wants the name
of the app.

Cheers,

David
