Polat, Thank you, thank you!! That solved all the problems I had. I was really at a loss to know where to look -- perhaps I hadn't found the right docs, but this was the first time I had seen the things you suggested.
One more question: in what sense did you mean that MEDIA_ROOT "is for file uploads"? I have not begun working on file uploads yet, but I will need that, and I see there is documentation on it which talks about several configurable options. Did you mean that MEDIA_ROOT is the default location for uploaded files? Thanks again for your help -- you saved my bacon! :) Steve Polat Tuzla wrote: > Also the /admin/ url gives >> an internal error, which in apache's errlog shows a traceback >> that ends in "OperationalError: no such table: django_session". > > This is most probably due to the fact that you did not set your > DB_NAME variable with the full path of your .db file.
