Hi, Apologies in advance for the long post but I have hit a brickwall: How do you get django and MySQLdb to talk to each other?
I have been banging my head against the wall trying to get past "The development server" per the django tutorial at < http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0_91/tutorial1/ >. I must be missing something really simple here but I think I have been staring at this for too long to see where I am screwing up. I recently built a CentOS 4.3 box following the guide at < http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_centos_4.3 > and everything was humming nicely. Then I was able to install MySQLdb and Django 0.91 per: 1. Built/Installed MySQLdb per < http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=32072&group_id=22307#building-and-installing > 2. Insalled the Django code < http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0_91/install/ > 3. I can setup the project "django-admin.py startproject myproject 4. "python manage.py runserver" and "python manage.py init" start throwing errors -- my MYSQL DB is setup -- settings.py has the correct db info entered "python manage.py runserver" gives me quite a few errors: "bash-3.00$ python manage.py runserver Validating models... Unhandled exception in thread started by <function inner_run at 0xb7c1b3ac> Traceback (most recent call last): ... django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Could not load database backend: cannot import name ImmutableSet. Is your DATABASE_ENGINE setting (currently, 'mysql') spelled correctly? Available options are: 'ado_mssql', 'mysql', 'postgresql', 'sqlite3'" "python manage.py init" gives me: "-bash-3.00$ python manage.py init Error: The database couldn't be initialized. Could not load database backend: cannot import name ImmutableSet. Is your DATABASE_ENGINE setting (currently, 'mysql') spelled correctly? Available options are: 'ado_mssql', 'mysql', 'postgresql', 'sqlite3'" MySQLdb looks to be in the corrtect location "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/MySQLdb" I am running Python 2.3.4: Python 2.3.4 (#1, Mar 10 2006, 06:12:09) [GCC 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> Django 0.91 installed without problems and is in: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/Django-0.91-py2.3.egg/django MySQL is running: mysqld (pid 2922) is running... mod_python seems to be working per a quick test from < http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/inst-testing.html >: < http://sandbox.prkstaging.com/mptest.py > >From my limited knowledge it seems like a MySQLdb/Django problem but after so much emty searching around I am still not sure how to go about fixing the problem. A few posts have covered exporting youe settings and such but nothing has worked.
