Question

Okay I just started with Django and it’s totally different from PHP.
I installed Python 2.6 and Django.

Both are located in my C drive.

C:
   Django
          build
          django
             bin
               django-admin.py
          docs
   Python26

I am doing the django site tutorial and when they say to write django-admin.py startproject mysite from my Python command line, I getting errors.

My django-admin.py is in the django/bin folder. I installed Python via python setup.py.
How do I create a project with django?

Thanks 🙂

You’ve got to run that from a command line, not within the python interpreter!

From the docs:

From the command line, cd into a
directory where you’d like to store
your code, then run the command
django-admin.py startproject mysite.
This will create a mysite directory
in your current directory.

So from the C prompt:

python django-admin.py startproject mysite

You might need to add the path to django-admin
