Ok.
As for the next chapter(Database setup), I opened up mysite/settings.py as per the instructions on the Django tutorial.
However, when I try to run the following command : $ python manage.py migrate to create the tables in the database,
CaiGengYangs-MacBook-Pro:Weiqi CaiGengYang$ python manage.py migrate ---- input
I get the following error message :
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory ---- output
Any idea how to solve this issue?
Thanks a lot !
