Hello hey michael I have been experiencing this problem since I installed my brand new Ubuntu Karmic with python in version 2.6 The project I am working on was working under python2.5 in my old Gentoo and still works (at least the python manage.py syncdb command does) on a server which is also running python2.5. I have tried installing both the latest official version and the latest development version of django and still the "python manage.py syncdb" it returns this error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 11, in <module> execute_manager(settings) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/core/management/ __init__.py", line 3 utility.execute() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/core/management/ __init__.py", line 3 self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/core/management/ base.py", line 195, self.execute(*args, **options.__dict__) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/core/management/ base.py", line 222, output = self.handle(*args, **options) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/core/management/ base.py", line 351, return self.handle_noargs(**options) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/core/management/ commands/syncdb.py", cursor = connection.cursor() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/db/backends/ __init__.py", line 81, i cursor = self._cursor() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/db/backends/ sqlite3/base.py", line 1 self.connection = Database.connect(**kwargs) sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file i have looked at other posts and the majority of people had the"operational error" caused by "~" in the path to the main folder in the settings.py or permissions to write for the folder that contains the project. none of the advices i found solved my problem. do you have any idea where this comes from and what should i do? is there something to be set in sqlite or should i modify django's destinations/target files? thanks selena --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
