Hi, I've installed django on an XP box and am trying to work through the tutorial.
I got django from svn using the url from the django site: http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk All is well until I try to do syncdb, at which point I get an error message: Error loading MySQLdb module: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found I get the same if I try to import the module from the python prompt, as well. MySQLdb is installed at: C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\MySQLdb settings.py says: DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql' # 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'. DATABASE_NAME = 'mysite' # Or path to database file if using sqlite3. DATABASE_USER = 'django' # 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. The Windows path environment variable includes; ... C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin;C:\Python26;C: \Python26\Lib\site-packages;C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\django\bin;C: \Python26\Lib\site-packages\MySQLdb I've googled, and searched the archives here, but haven't found a solution (although I have found others with similar problems) If this would be better on another list, please let me know which one and I'll post there. I wasn't sure if I should post here or on a more general python list. Cheers Peter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
