and still getting the error

raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading MySQLdb module: %s" % e)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb

Answer 1

See as Mike johnson said first check MySQLdb is really installed in your system or not

if not then use

sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

make sure it should installed properly

or you can use another alternative like easy_install

Answer 2

I tried to reproduce that problem on my Debian box and:

1. Navigated to /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6
2. Ran a command: chmod go-rx MySQLdb

3. On the other console, did:

   import MySQLdb
   Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "", line 1, in
   ImportError: No module named MySQLdb

I suppose it might be something with rights management on your system (I had this issue on some RHEL server just a week ago).

What you might want to do (if it's not Debian):
1. Login as root. 2. Type:

# find / -name "MySQLdb"

1. Navigate to directory that find finds (in my case it was /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6).

2. Type:

   chmod -R go+rx MySQLdb

3. Test on not-elevated console if importing MySQLdb from Python and regular user context works.
