Question

I’m trying to create a database in my first Django project (called “meu_blog”). I’ve create a file called gerar_banco_de_dados.bat and type the following code inside:

python manage.py syncdb
pause

The code in the settings file of project “meu_blog” is:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'sqlite3', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': 'meu_blog.db',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': '',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': '',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': '',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
   }
}

But when I tryed to create a user management system with the following information:

•Username: admin
•E-mail: [e-mail]
•Password: 1
•Password (again): 1

I get a message saying: “no fixtures found”

When, instead, it should appear this message (according to the tutorial book I’m following):

So, I’d like to know how to fix this “no fixtures found” and get the user management system installed.

I’m using Python 2.6 and Django 1.3.

Thanks in advance for any help.

“No fixtures found” is not an error, per se. That will often show up during syncdb if you’re not using initial_data.json fixtures for your apps (which is not required). There is no problem.
