Thanks again for the help Ramiro. . .When you say "C:\path\to\django- admin startproject foo", I'm not quite sure which path you're referring to. Do you mean "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\django \bin" ??? This is where the django-admin script is located (also located in Python Scripts Folder). BTW, I have my Python Path set in Environment Variables along with the path to where django-admin.py is located " C:\Python27;C:\Python27\scripts;C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages \django\bin" So, if you could help a moron like me out, and tell me exactly which path you're referring to when you say "C:\path\to\django-admin startproject foo" I'll give it a try. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
