I had the same problem as you do. You can try the instructions on this site: http://djangolife.blogspot.sg/2008/06/part-vi-django.html
Remember to restart your cmd prompt after you changed the environment variables though. I didn't and it took me sometime to figure out that the reason the environment variables didn't change was because I did not restart my shell/cmd prompt. Hope this helps. --Vincent On Monday, June 18, 2012 3:15:53 AM UTC+8, Melvyn Sopacua wrote: > > On 14-6-2012 17:25, Daniel Roseman wrote: > > >> I rent space on a server run by hostmonster.com.
