You say you didn't get an error message, but did you get a message saying "X objects loaded from Y fixtures"? If you didn't see this message, then the fixtures have not been loaded. The next thing to check is where you have put the fixtures. You say you put the fixtures in a src/fixtures directory - did you add this directory in the FIXTURE_DIRS setting? By default, Django will only look for a fixtures directory in each installed applicaiton (e.g., if you have polls/models.py, Django will look in polls/fixtures/* for fixtures). If you want to use another directory, you will need to register that directory using the FIXTURE_DIRS setting. Lastly, you only need to specify the fixture name when loading the fixture (i.e., "websites" or "websites.yaml") - you don't need to provide a full path for the fixture. Django will fill in the rest of the path name as it searches the known locations for fixtures.
