manage.py command not found

[jay K.]

Hello,

I am following the tutorial at http://south.aeracode.org/docs/installation.html#installation-configure in order
to install South.

I've installed it successfully and modified INSTALLED_APPS so
it includes 'south', in the settings.py

now I execute the command: ./manage.py shell inside my current project, but get a "permission denied" message,
so I execute the same command, this time with sudo, so sudo ./manage.py , but it tells me that
./manage.py command not found

can anyone explain me what's wrong?

thanks

Check the permissions on manage.py. I'm guessing it's not executable.

Either use chmod +x on manage.py or execute it with Python: python manage.py.

Hi,

Try it: python manage.py

Hello, Shawn

Error: No module named xxxxxx

hi, Shawn

I finally managed to get python manage.py shell to work, by commenting
out those INSTALLED_APPS that had an issue with 'import xxxxx'

it turns out that 'import xxxxx' was the problem.

do you have any suggestions to fix 'import xxxxx'?

thanks

Depends on what xxxxx is.

If you're talking about the line that imports your app, that usually
means you have an error in your application code (the views or the
models). Try starting the shell and run "import xxxxx" manually and
see what errors you get.

Assuming the South is very similar to Django from the documentation at the link. Here are some pointers.

1. Have you tried listing manage.py by trying ls command?

2. If you try ls -l, what are the permissions for manage.py?

3. Have you tried python manage.py?

4. Is there a shebang line at the top of manage.py file assuming the file exists?

Please try these approaches. Hope this helps.

Thanks and Regards,

Sumod
