激活虚拟环境不起作用

Question

On my server (digitalocean droplet), when I activate my virtual environment, it seems something is not working. I say the because:

1. It does not give me the virtual environment name inside paranthesis on the command line
2. When I run deactivate commend, it says deactivate: command not found

user@django-s-1vcpu-2gb-sfo3-01:~/example$source env/bin/activate
user@django-s-1vcpu-2gb-sfo3-01:~/example$

running source env/bin/activate should output the following command line:

(user) user@django-s-1vcpu-2gb-sfo3-01:~/example$

I did check which folder I am at and if the env virtual environment is shown under that folder. I also looked at this point , and when I go to python manage.py shell and type those lines of code, it says I am not in the virtualenv! So, why is that? and how to fix it without completely mess up my live production site?

Answer 1

I just recreated the virtual environment using virtualenv env . I was reluctant to do so fearing making more problems with my live production site, but it looks OK so far. I will update if this solution has unintended consequences down the road.
