Re: account errors when create superuser on cygwin

I'm not sure whether this is your problem, but file permissions
can be fussy with Windows. You might try going into the
manage.py shell and trying to open the file with python's
open builtin, e.g., if the database file already exists:

f = open('path_to/db_file')

or if it doesn't:

f = open('path_to/db_file', 'w)

Permission problems can be subtle. The place I've been bitten
was a native windows install of apache2 not being willing to use
configuration files edited with a tool under cygwin. When I found
a suitable cacls tool, it seemed that the cygwin library created
files with a funky set of permissions, which, while equivalent to
a much simpler set of permissions, worked for most applications,
but apache was very fussy.

It is also possible that sqlite isn't correctly installed. IIRC it's built
into recent pythons, but I don't what python you're using. Older
versions require you to install it separately.
