Installing Django Basic Blog

Somewhere inside a folder that’s on your PYTHONPATH:

svn checkout http://django-basic-apps.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ basic

Under INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.:

'tagging',
'basic.blog',
'basic.inlines',
'django.contrib.comments',
'django.contrib.markup',

Be sure you have django-tagging installed.

In your main urls.py:

(r'^blog/', include('basic.blog.urls')),
(r'^comments/', include('django.contrib.comments.urls')),

Now if you want, you can override the app’s own templates by copying them into your own templates/blog folder.

Hi,

I did the following:

“django-admin.py startproject blog”
Then did exactly step by step what you told (also installed django-tagging).
After this I wanted to do a syncdb, I got this error, could you help me out?

Regards, Laszlo

@Laszlo What version of Django are you using?

Laszlo → January 13th, 2010 at 5:09 pm

Python26, is it possible that something is missing from my installation?

Trey → January 13th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
