I'm doing the CS50Web course, and there is a Django project in which I want to create a new app called "wikipedia". The problem is that after I run this command in Windows PowerShell:
python manage.py runserver
this loop happens:
loop print
I don't know what I did wrong for that to happen. After running
python manage.py startapp wikipedia
, I:
went to my Django project and added 'wikipedia' in the installed apps in settings.py
went to urls.py and added a path like this:
path("wiki/", include("wikipedia.urls))
And then I tried running the server. What did I do wrong?
You must have something improperly configured.
Run this:
$ pip uninstall django
$ pip install django
$ django-admin startproject <projectname>
$ cd <projectname>
$ django-admin startapp wikipedia
$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate
do what you described in your question
Also, it is always a better idea to run these things in the CMD, rather than in the PowerShell
Are you sure you have url mappings in your wikipedia app urls.py? Not having any patterns there could be the cause of an error.
I'm trying to build a website with django and I get this error
(venv) C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Python\py_website_django>django-admin startproject pyshop
(venv) C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Python\py_website_django>python manage.py runserver
C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\python.exe: can't open file 'C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\Python\py_website_django\manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
Because you create a project folder inside your py_website_django folder. manage.py will be inside pyshop folder not in py_website_django.
I suggest you to create your project like this:
django-admin startproject pyshop .
adding a dot at the end will create the project inside the current directory, also, manage.py will be inside your current directory.
you need to cd into pyshop and then run the command. thats where manege.py should be
Just do :
cd pyshop
Then do
python manage.py runserver
You know, sometimes it's just a conflicting naming issue you might have
Try this: Redo all the configuration from scratch and when typing a command line in the terminal:
django-admin startproject 'your project name'
ADD A "SPACE" AND A "." the line would be:
django-admin startproject 'your project name' .
I use command "django-admin startproject myapp" and it doesn't do anything
When I use this command again it says "CommandError: 'C:\Users\User\Desktop\djangotest2\myapp' already exists"
I tried disabling my antivirus and I tried using absolute path to django-admin.py and django-admin.exe file
The above mentioned command is not working.
Showing the result after giving command -
No Django settings specified.
Unknown command: 'startmyproject'. Did you mean startproject?
Type 'django-admin help' for usage.
Unknown command: 'startmyproject'. Did you mean startproject?
The result is pretty self-explanatory, no such command exist. It's django-admin startproject
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#startproject
Your command should be startproject. Also, have u defined a django settings file for ur django installation. Try out the steps in this documentation to make this work correctly.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/settings/
I think you need to run this django-admin startproject 'your peoject name goes here'
This should be just after activating virtual and installing django
I have a problem in setting up django.
My situation: I have Anaconda Python 2.7 in my Windows 8 computer. On the Anaconda command prompt window, I type: pip install django. This is successful.
Then I create a folder named "newproject". On the command prompt I went to the folder "newproject". Then django-admin.py startproject newproject. This is successful.
Then I run python manage.py runserver. It tells me
"...can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory"
I checked out udemy django installation guide and other guides on the net. I have even set up a virtual environment. But the main problem is always: can't open file 'manage.py'
You're not in the proper directory...In the case you described, you should have:
mkdir newproject (not sure why you're doing this...but we'll continue with it)
cd newproject
django-admin.py startproject newproject
cd newproject ← A key missing part from what you did. You need to change into the directory where manage.py resides. Verify it by using ls at the command prompt after switching into the directory.
python manage.py runserver
Use ls often, if you need, to double check where you are in the directory tree.
You are not in the correct directory. You need to do cd newproject and the execute your runserver command.
For me it was because the manage.py didn't get created and the problem was that:
In windows instead of typing "django-admin.py" just type "django-admin" and it will create the manage.py file
you need to change your directory to the directory of the project.
open your environment by typing activate environment_name
change the directory to the folder in which you want to create the
project by cd Folder_Name
then create your project by django-admin startproject
Project_Name
then change the directory to your project folder
if you also want to create an app then typepython manage.py
startapp App_name
to confirm if it works type python manage.py runserver, then
you should get a link in the terminal. copy and paste that link in
the browser and you should see a successful page.
The reason of this problem is because you're in the first project directory "parent directory", and you have to go to your project "newproject" that has the manage.py file.
The way to this is simple:
cd "name of your project", E.g. cd newproject
python manage.py runserver
You need to include a . after you create the project.
Eg: django-admin.py startproject newproject .
This will allow you to run python manage.py runserver from where you are.
That can happen because manage.py doesn't have permissions.
Check the existence of manage.py throughout newproject, If exist you can fix it with:
$cd newproject
$chmod +x manage.py
Finally, try to execute python manage.py runserver
I was having the same problem, when Windows 10 changed credentials, Docker lost the access to drives. The fix for this issue, I reset the credentials in docker-desktop > shared Drives > reset credentials at bottom.
can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory"
here is the solution
step 1: command -> django-admin startproject project_name
step 2: command -> cd project_name
step 3: command -> python manage.py startapp app_name
try it may fix your problem
You should navigate to the inner directory where your manage.py resides. For example:
If you have created projectname as
Django-admin startproject loginapp
Step 1: Go to loginapp
Step 2: Click on it
Step 3: You will find another loginapp and manage.py folder inside that
Step 4: Use this rootpath commandprompt
Step 5: Enter py manage.py runserver
Now it will work
I ran into the same error seller. But this is what I discovered
1: open your terminal in your project environment
2: install Django using: pip install django (if you are on windows)
3: then create your Django project using : django-admin startproject newproject . (django-admin start-project followed by project name give a space and add period (.) )
So it goes like this
django-admin startproject new project .
The period/fullstop (.) At the end tells djando the area in which the file should be created which is inside the project file its self you are working on. After this is done you are free to go. You can now run your server and enjoy
Run server using: python manage.py runserver
Make sure to put a period at the end of your command e.g
Django-admin startproject new project .
The period at the end (.) will solve the problem
