Some of my Django errors I faced and solved

This post is practically written for my sake alone - so that I'll know what to do later, if I face the same issues again.

Well here I go,

• "django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading psycopg2 module: No module named psycopg2":  In django 1.3.1 settings.py file, if the database backed for Postgresql is simply given as 'postgresql' instead of postgresql_psycopg2, django simple gives the error as psycopg module not found. 

• "django error no module named messages": If you install Ubuntu 10.04's django version, well I have to confess that i never updated, it was a fresh vm, and straightway run your django app, it throws this. Download and install the latest django version. Solved.

• "django psycopg2.OperationalError: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user": Another classy misleading error. Just add 'localhost' in settings.py HOST, even though the helpful comment asks you to just leave it empty.

I LOVE DJANGO!!! This post is just to help another poor soul like me hunting in google and stackoverflow.

Django in the appengine

I am planning to blog a walk-through in creating and hosting a django based app in the google appengine.

Before I start rambling on my own, let me give you a couple of links which got me going.

• http://www.djangobook.com/ - if you are new to django start here. It is *the* place to start.
• http://diveintopython.org/ - wait a second, do you know python? if not start here ;)
• http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/projects/djangoappengine - if you know python and django, this is the place to go
• http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/django-nonrel.html - the official article

If you are unable to make much sense of the third and fourth links, come back here! I'm going to keep this damn simple.

Lets do the doing!!!
