Did you get an opportunity to type anything after "yes"? Or did it
just blow up at that point?
Based on the traceback, it looks like it is having trouble getting
your system's default username. I've never really noticed that it has
that functionality before but I wonder if there's something "weird"
about your System's configuration?
Which version of Django are you using?
To by-pass this (until you get the real problem worked out) give this a shot:
python manage.py shell # This will open up a terminal-shell in your
Django Environment
from django.contrib.auth.models import User # Import the User Model so
we can create a new user
user = User.objects.create_user(username='someusername',
password='somepassword', is_superuser=True) # Create the new User
(Remember these credentials)
user.save() # Save the User
exit() # Exit the Python Shell
And you should be all good to go.
