Ajays-MacBook-Pro:django-cms-release-3.3.x ajayvelu$ python manage.py runserver
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 6, in <module>
    import app_manage
ImportError: No module named app_manage

Answer 1

You need to run the manage.py instance that was created when you installed DjangoCMS. For example, if you created the CMS in /app you must set the working directory to /app and run python manage.py runserver locally.

If you run the manage.py from the djangocms source directory you will get the error you reported.
