I have currently created a database with the following details:
DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql'
DATABASE_NAME = 'myforum'
DATABASE_USER = 'root'
DATABASE_PASSWORD = 'myforum'
DATABASE_HOST = 'localhost'
DATABASE_PORT = ''
I used phpMyadmin to create the database
I have updated C:\projects\myforum\settings.py in the similar
fashion....
However when i run the the following command i get:
C:\projects\myforum>python manage.py runserver
Validating models...
Unhandled exception in thread started by <function inner_run at
