Thanks very much for your help.
I'm now aware that installing an sql server is a non trivial event. :) I apologize because I'm used to doing an install with a double click of an icon. :) I'm impatient because I saw this talk demonstrating django, and I wanted to just try that code out from the talk. It was a simple web-db app. I program in other languages, but have not done a lot of sys admin so am learning a lot. i understand from looking at user groups that doing installs can be a bit rough, architectures differ, config files, paths, env vars, startup item, etc. I have a goal, to create a program for my website, so that I can collaborate with another group of people who are doing this. I'm not so interested in just playing... not sure how that impression was made. This is fun, but its not for fun that I'm doing it. :) On Feb 9, 8:35 pm, Wilson MacGyver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > newbiedoobiedoo wrote: > > please take your instructions and put them up somewhere OFFICIAL, > > because > > I was following directions that were MUCH more complicated. > > > I just did what you said... and now I have django.
