I am trying to follow the Django | Writing your first Django ap part 1
tutorial. When I get to the python manage.py syncdb command I get the
following:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Here is how my settings. py file is settup.
ADMINS = (
# ('Your Name', '[email protected]'),
)
MANAGERS = ADMINS
DATABASE_ENGINE = 'sqlite3' # 'postgresql_psycopg2',
'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
DATABASE_NAME = '' # Or path to database file if using
sqlite3.
DATABASE_USER = '' # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_PASSWORD = '' # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_HOST = '' # Set to empty string for localhost.
Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_PORT = '' # Set to empty string for default. Not
used with sqlite3.
# Local time zone for this installation. Choices can be found here:
# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_zones_by_name
# although not all choices may be available on all operating systems.
# If running in a Windows environment this must be set to the same as
your
# system time zone.
TIME_ZONE = 'Am
My understanding is, that because I am using sqlite it will
automatically create a database file when I run the syncdb command. I
had a slightly different experience with Turbogears.
My thought is that my sqlite is not set up correctly, but I don't even
know where to start looking.
