Bob, Thank you very much. Your reply/advice was taken in the manner intended.
I see what you are saying about step 4 versus 18. My confusion was partially on that point of "understanding" versus "running" and the info that is in the README, and I'll post that here. This is a very basic example of a "simple" Satchmo store. > > It should work right from checkout. Start it with "./manage.py runserver" > and browse to http://localhost:8000/ > > Admin is: > > Username: admin > Password: simple > So you should at least be able to understand my confusion. The webpage told me to become familiar with simple and the first thing I see when I look at simple is a README that says I can run it straight out of the box. I also (wrongly) assumed that based on that info it used sqlite by default and didn't need any database setup. As for the rest, don't worry, I understand windows "issues". I develop and work on a variety of platforms and am familiar with "issues" of running Python on Windows. Your reminder is heard. I understand understanding satchmo over one day is impossible. I just figured in this day and age of "one-click" installs that the demo app should only take an hour of work so I could actually see a demo store running on my own server. Fret not! I am not deterred and am a quick learner. Stay tuned. :-) Thanks for all the help today folks. It's much appreciated. ---- Onto which platform... Having a few Ubuntu boxen already, I know that the python install on Ubuntu and "Python from Scratch" are different in many ways - like where files go and configuration stuff. So I think I am going to try Debian. This will be my first venture into Debian, but I think it might be best for building stuff from source to get it all compatible. I need to give this some more thought. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Satchmo users" group.
