Re: trouble creating first project

Ok Steve,

No need to get huffy. We are trying to help out Phil and if you had
read some of the previous posts you might notice I wasnt taking about
you.....

Not that I wanted to name names....

"It seems that the command you're running is not on your PYTHONPATH.
You may have to enter the full path to django-admin."

You are absolutley right about ls not existing in /urs/local/bin but
for the scope of the post it seems to be an adequate example as he was
using it to create a symbolic link. I meant no disrepect your Linux
sensabilitys but as the guy sounds like he obvioulsy new to this I
thought I would keep it simple

Unlike..

"It's to do with the shell search path (under most shells, the $PATH
environment variable) which is a colon-separated list (Windows: a
semicolon-separated) list of directories which the shell searches for
programs to execute. "

Very helpful Steve, pat yourself on the back.

Kindest regards

Rob

ps, if you are planning to reply send me a direct email to continue
this discussion as its better than filling this guys post with
rubbish.
