What version of Django have you installed? It appears to be earlier than 1.2 at least, because the method of specifying database connections in settings.py changed in that release. It's possible that you have installed a *very* old - ie pre-1.0 - version, in which the max_length parameter was called maxlength (without the hyphen). If so, please uninstall it and install the up-to-date version. -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
