Question

I am trying to test the codes of the project.

I run the following code

$appcfg.py update masicode/ 

I get the following error

Scanning files on local disk. Initiating update. 2009-04-06 21:58:42,401 ERROR appcfg.py:1235 An unexpected error occurred. Aborting.

The contents of masicode

$ls masicode/ app.yaml   index.yaml main.py 

How can you upload Django project successfully to Google App Engine?

Answer 1

Looks like login/permissions problem.

HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
You do not have permission to modify this app (app_id=u’so’).

Your appID should be same as the one you have registered in Google App Engine. Your mail and password same as credentials that you’ve used to register it.
Is http://so.appspot.com/ yours?
