Hi guys, I'm working on the tutorial on www.djangobook.com. I've created a database using "manage.py starapp books" then i modified the "models.py" file to include classes where each class represents a column in the database. then i modified the "settings.py" file to include the following:
DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql' DATABASE_NAME = 'books' DATABASE_USER = 'Lina' DATABASE_PASSWORD = 'somepassword' DATABASE_HOST = 'localhost' DATABASE_PORT = '3306' and: INSTALLED_APPS = ( #'django.contrib.admin', 'helloworld.books', #'django.contrib.auth', #'django.contrib.contenttypes', #'django.contrib.sessions', #'django.contrib.sites', ) should i be good to go or what? why do i get the long long long error that ends with: _mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (1049, "Unknown database 'books'") when i try to validate the database using "C:\....path to django project folder...> python manage.py validate" I really need and appreciate your help. cheers, Lina --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
