While trying to set up Django on Windows: AttributeError: 'Settings' object has no attribute 'DATABA
- by user326370
I'm following these instructions in order to set up Django on Windows. I have installed Python 2.6, PostgreSQL 8.4, Psycopg 2.0.14 for Python 2.6 and the latest version of Django from SVN.
I'm now following these instructions to run a test project (copied from the page linked to above):
C:\Documents and Settings\John>cd C:\
C:\>mkdir django
C:\>cd django
C:\django>django-admin.py startproject testproject
C:\django>cd testproject
C:\django\testproject>python manage.py runserver
When I run the last line, this is the output:
Validating models...
Unhandled exception in thread started by <function inner_run at 0x01ECB930>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "J:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\commands\runserver.py", line 48, in inn
er_run
self.validate(display_num_errors=True)

num_errors = get_validation_errors(s, app)

ion_errors
from django.db import models, connection

if not settings.DATABASES:
File "J:\Python26\lib\site-packages\django\utils\functional.py", line 273, in __getattr__
return getattr(self._wrapped, name)
AttributeError: 'Settings' object has no attribute 'DATABASES'
Did I forget to do something with the database?
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!
