Running Django server (Python 3.4)

Question

I tried today to install Django for Python 3.4. I managed to create a project but when I try to run the server with python manage.py runserver (I'm on Windows 7), I get an error :

Performing system checks...

System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

You have unapplied migrations; your app may not work properly until they are applied.
Run 'python manage.py migrate' to apply them.

And I can't access my server. How can I run the server ? Thanks,

Answer 1

Run the following command:

manage.py migrate

This will create your tables in your database, then try running your server.

Answer 2

Okay I got it, it was pretty dumb, I just had non-ASCII characters in my hostname. Now it works perfectly !
