Ok Steve, No need to get huffy. We are trying to help out Phil and if you had read some of the previous posts you might notice I wasnt taking about you.....
Not that I wanted to name names.... Shawn Milochik "It seems that the command you're running is not on your PYTHONPATH. You may have to enter the full path to django-admin." You are absolutley right about ls not existing in /urs/local/bin but for the scope of the post it seems to be an adequate example as he was using it to create a symbolic link. I meant no disrepect your Linux sensabilitys but as the guy sounds like he obvioulsy new to this I thought I would keep it simple Unlike.. "It's to do with the shell search path (under most shells, the $PATH environment variable) which is a colon-separated list (Windows: a semicolon-separated) list of directories which the shell searches for programs to execute. " Very helpful Steve, pat yourself on the back. Kindest regards Rob ps, if you are planning to reply send me a direct email to continue this discussion as its better than filling this guys post with rubbish.
