Hi I just started using the subversion build of django and mysql-
python with python 2.6.3
Both django (svn 12103) and _mysql (MySQLdb rev 635) work fine and can
be imported from the command line python without any error messages.
I created a new django testproject and then modified my settings.py to
use the mysql backend ( see DATABASE section below).
But when I start python manage.py runserver 8080 , I get an error
which I am reproducing here indicating that the backend was not
started.
Any ideas on what I need to change to have my django launch with the
mysql backend.
Thanks
harijay
The error I get is
^Chariharan-jayarams-macbook-pro-17:testdjnew hari$ python manage.py
runserver 8080
