I have a feeling that mysqldb isn’t configured properly with django, I was wondering if i’m missing anything. i ran the following commands right before it:
|
1 2 3 |
# apt-get install python-django # apt-get install python-mysqldb |
Answer:
I had this same issue where my virtualenv was broken and could no longer run django when I upgraded to ubuntu 12.04.
I simply ran (while my ve was active)
|
1 2 |
pip uninstall MySQL-python |
and then re-installed it with
|
1 2 |
pip install MySQL-python |
worked fine again after that.
