What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. install the above programs 2. create a project 3. run syncdb
Note: I have installed mySQL to support UTF 8. I also create the mysite_db database using CREATE DTABASE mysite_db CHARACTER SET = UTF8; What is the expected output? What do you see instead? syncdb create the required tables as follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C:\DjangoProjects\mysite>python manage.py syncdb Creating table auth_permission Creating table auth_group_permissions Creating table auth_group Creating table auth_user_user_permissions Creating table auth_user_groups Creating table auth_user Creating table auth_message Creating table django_content_type Creating table django_session Creating table django_site You just installed Django's auth system, which means you don't have any superuse rs defined. Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I select 'YES' and get the following error: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 11, in <module> execute_manager(settings) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\core\management \__init__.py", line 438, in execute_manager utility.execute() File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\core\management \__init__.py", line 379, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\base.py", line 191, in run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **options.__dict__) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\base.py", line 220, in execute output = self.handle(*args, **options) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\base.py", line 351, in handle return self.handle_noargs(**options) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\commands \syncdb.py" , line 103, in handle_noargs emit_post_sync_signal(created_models, verbosity, interactive, db) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\sql.py", line 182, in emit_post_sync_signal interactive=interactive, db=db) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\dispatch\dispatcher.py", line 172, in send response = receiver(signal=self, sender=sender, **named) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\auth\management \__init__.py ", line 44, in create_superuser call_command("createsuperuser", interactive=True) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\core\management \__init__.py", line 166, in call_command return klass.execute(*args, **defaults) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\base.py", line 220, in execute output = self.handle(*args, **options) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\auth\management \commands\cr eatesuperuser.py", line 71, in handle User.objects.get(username=default_username) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\manager.py", line 132, in get return self.get_query_set().get(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\query.py", line 342, in g et num = len(clone) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\query.py", line 80, in __ len__ self._result_cache = list(self.iterator()) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\query.py", line 271, in i terator for row in compiler.results_iter(): File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\sql \compiler.py", line 67 7, in results_iter for rows in self.execute_sql(MULTI): File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\sql \compiler.py", line 73 2, in execute_sql cursor.execute(sql, params) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\db\backends\util.py", line 15, in e xecute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\db\backends\mysql \base.py", line 86 , in execute return self.cursor.execute(query, args) File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\cursors.py", line 175, in execute if not self._defer_warnings: self._warning_check() File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\cursors.py", line 89, in _warning_ check warn(w[-1], self.Warning, 3) _mysql_exceptions.Warning: Incorrect string value: '\xED' for column 'username' at row 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What version of the product are you using?
