Hi Ken, I think you got that right, coz when I tried again my error was
different:
File
"/home/hobbo5424/mezzcart/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py",
line 47, in _setup
% (desc, ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE))
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting
INSTALLED_APPS, but settings are not configured. You must either define the
environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure()
before accessing settings.
If you could suggest a way to set it up properly, I'd be happy to start
over again - I haven't done any real work on the site yet. At this stage, I
just need to prove it can be done (by me at least).
What is supposed to happen when you run product_db.py? I can't see where or
how it would find a .csv file to upload.
Martin suggested "playing around with Cartridge api within a shell to play
around with the product database." I don't know how to do that either.
Sorry to ask dumb questions, but Ryan said to keep trying and not give up.
Cheers and thanks!
