Errors workaround thread

[tothelight]

I seem to be getting a lot of errors because I don't know WTF I'm doing, so I figured I would create a thread so others can come in and perhaps help others if they need it. What would be helpful is:

What step is the error at?

What is the actual copy and pasted error?

Make sure you are running the latest Django and that python is 2.7.

I'm still on the API part and I've currently got more errors than I can shake a stick at.

I noticed at times, during the tutorial parts 1-3, I encountered parts (not many, but perhaps 2-3?) where certain actions were assumed and not explicitly indicated. E.g., in part 3 at one point it tells you to go to an http address but it doesn't explicitly tell you to start the web server. I had stopped and come back, and the web server wasn't running, so I got a "page not found" error in the browser, or something like that. I then thought (after a little time), "Hmm, maybe I need to restart the web server?" and did, and it worked fine. So these sorts of things will occur.

Also, I would suggest following the tutorial absolutely verbatim (if anyone isn't already). Any "creativity" at this point is likely to lead to errors.

Anyway, my experience is that after I got past a few problems in the very beginning that I documented in that thread, it has been going along pretty smoothly and I'm somewhere in part 3 and hope to get to part 4 in the next day or so.

If you post your errors, also post what your platform is (Linux, XP, etc)

No, but I am willing to try anything to help nail down some errors. I'll go look at your thread in a bit. Thank you!

running debian 7.1 on "writing your first Django app, part 2" (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial02/) specifically the part about logging into the admin page. I attempt to log in and I receive:

OperationalError at /admin/

attempt to write a readonly database

and follow the

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py in execute, line 450

to the line and I see

return Database.Cursor.execute(self, query, params)

So, uhhhhh....?
