Hi, I am using django1.2 and django-cms on ubuntu 10
Have been using and teaching myself django for a few months now with
minimal complaint, but I've just started a new project and things have
been acting very strangly.
Basically I started a new project, configured everything and linked it to
my database, sync-ed everything and got the admin working fine. Wrote a
new blog app worked out the kinks by importing it in the manage.py shell
until it all worked fine and added it to my installed apps and went to
sync but get:
{{{
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured?: You haven't set the
DATABASE_ENGINE setting yet.
}}}
Now I know what this means normally, but as I said I had previously synced
the admin and got everything working, all that I had changed was adding
the model to my installed apps.
Here is the exert from my settings.py:
{{{
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'sqlite3',
......
}}}
About the same time manage.py shell throws up no module named messages.
Checked and for some reason django.contrib.messages is no longer on the
python path. Added it location to .pth file in the dist-packages, but
still it cant find it. I had a similar problem importing contrib.page
module and had to re-install everything but it finds pages fine now.
Any ideas?
Comment:
Fixed formatting, please use WikiFormatting and preview before submitting.
Also this problem is almost certainly a configuration problem on your
machine, so would better be direction to the django-users mailing list or
#django irc channel.
Both of the errors you mention would happen if your PYTHONPATH was
pointing to a pre-1.2 Django: your 1.2 style database definitions would
not be recognized and the new 1.2 messages module would not be found. So I
suspect somehow your environment has been changed and you are no longer
picking up the right version of Django for your project.
