Question

I did exactly as it says here: http://readthedocs.org/docs/django-filebrowser/en/latest/quickstart.html#quickstart (only used easy_install instead of pip)

it seems that I get an import error when trying to connect to admin interface:

Request Method:     GET
Request URL:    http://localhost:8000/admin/
Django Version:     1.3
Exception Type:     ImportError
Exception Value:    

No module named sites

Exception Location:     c:\workspace\expedeat\..\expedeat\urls.py in <module>, line 5
Python Executable:  c:\Tools\Python26\python.exe
Python Version:     2.6.4

the import the exception comes from is: from filebrowser.sites import site in urls.py

Also testing filebrowser fails with this message:

Creating test database for alias 'default'...
.......F......
======================================================================
FAIL: test_directory (filebrowser.tests.settings.SettingsTests)

AssertionError: False != 1

Destroying test database for alias 'default'...

I must be doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

the sites.py module does not exist in version you are using, so the error message is correct.

the installation doc you are using is for version 3.4. The pip install is 3.3. The difference being in the urls.py

3.4

from filebrowser.sites import site
urlpatterns = patterns('',
   url(r'^admin/filebrowser/', include(site.urls)),
)

3.3

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^admin/filebrowser/', include('filebrowser.urls')),
)
