Yes, I solved my problem :-) Thanks to Evgeny.

13 years ago marked best answer Django error: VariableDoesNotExist: Failed lookup for key [request] in u'[{}]'

This could be caused by several things:

  • models out of date - run python manage.py syncdb and python manage.py migrate
  • missing 'django.core.context_processors.request', in the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS
  • urlpatterns tuple is empty, urls.py - in the django project root.

Askbot provides a sample urls.py in the directory askbot/setup_templates, you can take it there, or run askbot-setup. askbot-setup will make a copy, but will not overwrite an existing file though.

Hi Fitoria, I check the path of TEMPLATE_DIR, but it seems correct.

Maybe this log can help you to find the solution:

Hi managed to install askbot as a pluggable django app, but I have some two probles:

  1. I had to create, under my project directory, a virtual link to skins folder

  2. despite I tell askbot to put the uploaded file into the directory /myproject/upfile, askbot continue to put the uploaded file into directory /myproject/askbot/upfile.

I have just run the command python manage.py add_missing_subscriptions and I think that there is a typo. I get the error is AttributeError: type object 'User' has no attribute 'object' and infact in the script add_missing_subscriptions there is the command User.object.all() that instead should be User.objects.all()

Thanks for your reply.

WSGIScriptAlias ​​If set to '/ forum' and ASKBOT_URL to 'forum /' images are served to the URL '/ forum / forum / m / default / media / images /' (eg forum / forum / m / default / media / images / cc-Wiki.png? v = 1) but the URL is written by askbot '/ forum / m / default / media / images'.

If, instead, I set WSGIScriptAlias to '/' and ASKBOT_URL to 'forum /', askbot load properly, but I am no longer able to access my django site through the url http://localhost/django.

14 years ago asked a question How to run askbot under a subdirectory?

Askbot I installed on a server (CentOS + Apache) with a single IP address. On the same server are running the main site (php) and a Django site (version 1.3). Django Django is served under the subdirectory / (defined by the Directive WSGIScriptAlias ​​/ django) I would like to serve in a subdirectory askbot / forum, but even if they define the WSGIScriptAlias ​​/ forum url media continue to point to / m, while it should point to / forum / m Can anyone help me?
