Re: Connecting django to postgresql database

Hello,

1) You say that "it does not identify the word migrate". Could you please show us the exact error message?

2) The message you are getting, "psycopg2_version 2.5.4 or newer is required; you have 2.4.5" seems perfectly clear. Could you elaborate on why you have trouble correcting it?

Regards,

A.

        'HOST'  : '127.0.0.1',
        'PORT'  : '5432',

however when i run the command 'python manage.py migrate' it does not identify the word migrate, and when i run the command 'python manage.py syncdb' i get the following error;
