I am trying to follow the walkthrough on the django website and I downloaded sqlite and saved it in C:\\Windows\\System32
folder. When I edit the settings.py
file what do I put for the Name
field? Do I have to set up a database? The django literature say's that the API should take care of that for sqlite. When I run python manage.py syncdb
I just get a bunch of errors. What am I doing wrong?

$ python manage.py syncdb

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I haven't tried django under windows but python 2.7 surely comes with sqlite out of the box.
How to setup the database?
on the top of the file:
import os
then:
PROJECT_DIR = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, 'yourdatabasename.db'),
}
}
and finally a syncdb should do the trick.
If it doesn't work, mind to paste the traceback?
The problem is:
File "c:\Users\Jason & Casey\Desktop\mysite\mysite\settings.py", line 21
}
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Check the syntax a paren or brace hasn't been closed properly around DATABASES
.
