Question

Intitally when i setup i didn’t have any error when i typed python manage.py runserver. However when i installed mysql and changed admins and databases in my settings.py, i can’t seem to run the server again.

Setting.py

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': '',                      # 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.
    }
}

When i run python manage.py run server:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 8, in <module>
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named django.core.management

YOu have to make sure to active your env as you noticed. As you can see the django package ONLY exists in your env. If you are not using it then you can not access any part of the django package (django.core.management) THere are many man tutorials explaining how virtualenv functions.
