Or perhaps they will remain trivial for a while.
I added the name as such:
DATABASE_NAME = '/Django/mysite/mysite_data.db'
{I have tried w/ ~, w/o leading /, with /john/Djan..., and w/ john/
Dja...}
My project looks like this:
j...@john-laptop:~/Django/mysite$ ls -l
total 24
-rw-r--r-- 1 john john 0 2009-02-25 22:48 __init__.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 john john 133 2009-02-25 23:09 __init__.pyc
-rw-r--r-- 1 john john 546 2009-02-25 22:48 manage.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 john john 2805 2009-02-26 05:03 settings.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 john john 1699 2009-02-26 05:03 settings.pyc
-rw-r--r-- 1 john john 537 2009-02-25 22:48 urls.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 john john 233 2009-02-25 23:11 urls.pyc
j...@john-laptop:~/Django/mysite$
Now I am getting:
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/db/backends/sqlite3/
base.py", line 145, in _cursor
self.connection = Database.connect(**kwargs)
sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file
