Re: Need help: django-admin.py startproject [projectname] creates directory which I cannot access

As part of its protection, Comodo Antivirus has something named "sandboxing", so when you execute anything, Comodo catches it, runs it inside a protected environment and if it finds it's not malware, runs the actual command.

Seems Comodo is mapping your D: drive to that C:\VTRoot\HarddiskVolume1 thing, so django-admin gets fooled.

I haven't used Comodo for decades so I can't help with this exact issue, sorry - maybe disabling the antivirus while you're at Django? O:-)

Anthony, I got this:

D:\projectdir>python create_dir.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "create_dir.py", line 2, in <module>
    top_dir = path.join(os.getcwd(), 'python_created_me')
NameError: name 'path' is not defined

I searched for it through windows explorer again and I actually found it on this strange location: C:\VTRoot\HarddiskVolume1\projectdir\mysite
Do you have any clue how this happened?
How to make things right? :)

Sorry - that should be :

            import os
            top_dir = path.join(os.getcwd(), 'python_created_me')
            os.makedirs(top_dir)

Copy that to a python file called '*create_dir.py*' in your *projectdir* - and run it by this command '*python create_dir.py*'

One you run it you should have a new empty directory called 'python_created_me' - running the comand again should result in an error.

The reason for doing this is to check that the Python code that Django is using does work ok.

The other thing you could do is to use the File Manager search to see if 'my_site' has been created else where on your system
