Askbot now works

Databases differ in the ways they do full text search and that's the main reason askbot has been sticking to just one, but this will be fixed within a week or two.

edit: found a workaround to make askbot work on postgres. Thanks postgresql - without full text search so far - hopefully this will be solved for bringing this up.

edit: found a workaround to make askbot work on postgresql - without full text search so far - hopefully this will be solved for good soon. Here is the method:

1) Update askbot from the repository prepare database and set DATABASE_ENGINE='postgresql_psycopg2' (also, python module psycopg2 may need to be installed).repository.

2) Comment out the following two lines in the INSTALLED_APPS tuple of settings.py:

#'django.contrib.auth'
#'askbot'

3) Run syncdb:

python manage.py syncdb

4) Uncomment those two lines and re-run syncdb as above again.

5) Finally, run migrate (this will migrate askbot and a bundled django_authopenid app)

python manage.py migrate
