When you install Django with setuptools (i.e. using setup.py) then you should find that django-admin is placed where it can be found. The simplest way around this is to make a symbolic link from one of the directories on your path to the django-admin.py file. regards Steve -- DjangoCon US 2010 September 7-9 http://djangocon.us/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
