Re: Need help: django-admin.py startproject [projectname] creates directory which I cannot access

2018-05-03 Thread 'Anthony Flury' via Django users 

Serves me right for writing code without testing :-(

It of course should be :

            import os
            top_dir = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'python_created_me')
            os.makedirs(top_dir)

Glad you have it sorted - and glad it turned out not to be Django ...

I searched for it through windows explorer again and I actually *found

Do you have any clue how this happened?

Sorry - that should be :

            import os
            top_dir = path.join(os.getcwd(), 'python_created_me')
            os.makedirs(top_dir)


Copy that to a python file called '*create_dir.py*' in your
*projectdir* - and run it by this command '*python create_dir.py*'

One you run it you should have a new empty directory called
'python_created_me' - running the comand again should result
in an error.

The reason for doing this is to check that the Python code
that Django is using does work ok.

The other thing you could do is to use the File Manager search to
see if 'my_site' has been created else where on your system

Ha! I will try to see what will happen when I disable Comodo. I hope it
will work properly then.

Thanks Fidel Leon.

Re: Need help: django-admin.py startproject [projectname] creates directory which I cannot access

2018-05-03 Thread Fidel Leon 
As part of its protection, Comodo Antivirus has something named
“sandboxing”, so when you execute anything, Comodo catches it, runs it
inside a protected environment and if it finds it’s not malware, runs the
actual command.

Seems Comodo is mapping your D: drive to that C:\VTRoot\HarddiskVolume1
thing, so django-admin gets fooled.

I haven’t used Comodo for decades so I can’t help with this exact issue,
sorry - maybe disabling the antivirus while you’re at Django? O:-)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "create_dir.py", line 2, in 
top_dir = path.join(os.getcwd(), 'python_created_me')

I searched for it through windows explorer again and I actually *found it*

Please try to create a different project specifying -v 3:
$ django-admin startapp -v 3 mytest

The output should tell you where django-admin is creating its files and

 Lets troubleshoot:

   * Does the directory show up when you do a *dir* command in
 projectdir ?
   * Can you do anything on the *mysite* directory - can you rename it,
 or even delete it ?
   * Can you see it in File explorer
   * Can you manually create a directory in your *projectdir* ?
   * Can you create a different projectdir - and run *django-admin
 startproject mysite* in there ?

 My gut feeling is that this is a diskdrive/OS type issue - rather than
 Django specific

 You may have a corrupted directory - or a bad section of disk; try the
 troubleshooting steps above first.

Sorry - that should be :

            import os
            top_dir = path.join(os.getcwd(), 'python_created_me')
            os.makedirs(top_dir)


Copy that to a python file called '*create_dir.py*' in your 
*projectdir* - and run it by this command '*python create_dir.py*'


One you run it you should have a new empty directory called 
'python_created_me' - running the comand again should result in an error.


The reason for doing this is to check that the Python code that Django 
is using does work ok.


The other thing you could do is to use the File Manager search to see if 
'my_site' has been created else where on your system

Create your projectdir manually then inside the projectdir folder (right
click with your mouse and open command window here)
After that continue with Django commands
django-admin startproject ...

Re: Need help: django-admin.py startproject [projectname] creates directory which I cannot access

Thank you very much for your reply, and here I my answers:

Those two directories '.' & '..' are standard in every directory

  * Can you do anything on the *mysite* directory - can you rename it,
    or even delete it ? I can't - system cannot find the file specified.
Very odd - points to a an OS/disk problem to be honest - I am not sure 
Django is doing anything clever.

  * Can you see it in File explorer - No.
  * Can you manually create a directory in your *projectdir* ? - Yes, 
and it is displayed after command *dir*.

  * Can you create a different projectdir - and run *django-admin
    startproject mysite* in there ? - I tried creating it on different 
paths, both on C and D disk, but it was the same behavior.


What can I do now? :)



Have you tried write a small Python application that creates a directory :

 from os import mkdirs
     top_dir = path.join(os.getcwd(), name)
 mkdirs(top_dir)

Copy that to a python file called '*create_dir.py*' in your *projectdir* 
- and run it by this command '*python create_dir.py*'


One you run it you should have a new empty directory called 
'python_created_me' - running the comand again should result in an error.


The reason for doing this is to check that the Python code that Django 
is using does work ok.

My gut feeling is that this is a diskdrive/OS type issue - rather
than
Django specific

You may have a corrupted directory - or a bad section of disk; try
the
troubleshooting steps above first.
