Didn't see that.
So my client decided to use xml. I created the file and put it in fixtures/initial_data.xml. On my development machine, which is a Mac, it worked fine - running syncdb loaded the data. But on my client's machine, which is running CentOS, running syncdb did not load the data (it said 'Installed 0 object(s) from 0 fixture(s)'). But when I ran: manage.py loaddata fixtures/initial_data.xml That worked. Anyone have any ideas why sycndb worked on my mashine, but it's not working on theirs? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
