Comment (by webcomm):
I was seeing this...
no such table: django_session
I wish I could tell you exactly when I saw that. It may be that my
workflow was a little unusual, but I'm not sure.
The "Get Your Database Running" section was confusing to me. I wanted to
use sqlite3, since that seems to be the easiest way to get started in the
dev server and that's what I had remembered using in past experiments with
Django. Under sqlite3, the instructions say "you don't need to do
anything extra" but I wasn't sure what "extra" was in relation to. In
fact, it turns out I didn't need to do *anything* to get the db running,
in the case of sqlite3, but I don't think the instructions give that
impression. The instructions seem to assume that the user knows to create
a flat file to hold the db, and that beyond that there is nothing to run,
per se. None of this is very explicit in the instructions.
I found installing the code pretty easy this time around. I think when I
got the message about "no such table: django_session" was after running
manage.py runserver.
