I like to say that I'm fairly competent with Python, but having mostly
designed desktop GUI applications, I did not have any experience with
Django. Today I decided to give it a shot so I went to djangoproject.com
web page.
In the top right there is the "Download" button which points to this page
- https://www.djangoproject.com/download/. After having downloaded it
(version 1.4.3 as it seems that it is generally encouraged to do so), I
clicked the "See the installation guide for further instructions". The
"Installation guide" is a link to
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/install/ . Following that, I
went to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/ .
You're probably realizing what has happened by now. I spent an hour
debugging and trying to figure out why is it that going to localhost/admin
does not work and, with DEBUG = True, why do I get the 500 error? I even
asked a question on SO. I see that "Let's look at what startproject has
created" should give me a clue that something is wrong, but I think there
should be more distinction made - at the very least, there should be two
"Installation Guide" links on the Download page, one for the stable
version and the other for the trunk version.
