Re: Help with manage.py sql

Thanks for the response. To answer your questions:

1. Have you set up a DB and put the details into your settings.py? If not, this is the problem.

Yes, all the details of my db are in the settings. I am convinced that the syncdb works since when I ran it the first time, a few tables were created;

auth_group,auth_group_permissions,auth_permission,auth_user, etc.....

2. If you have done that, then the next step is to try another python manage syncdb 

Yep, ran it again and rechecked the database. Nothing new.

3. Are you running python manage.py sql polls from the directory with 

manage.py in it? 

Yep, running it the same directory as manage.py

4. What is your OS and which version of Django? 

I am on a shared hosting. I am not sure of the version of Linux but it does list kernel version of 2.6.32-20120131.55.1.bh6.x86_

Django version is the most recent: 1.4.2

1. Have you set up a DB and put the details into your settings.py? If
not, this is the problem
2. If you have done that, then the next step is to try another

python manage syncdb

Which you should have run a little earlier, when registering the
django necessary tables, and this second run should create the tables
for the polls app.

Are you running python manage.py sql polls from the directory with
manage.py in it?

What is you OS and which version of Django?

Cheers
