14 years ago commented answer Can askbot use sendmail instead of SMTP
Thanks, that got it to work.
14 years ago commented answer Can askbot use sendmail instead of SMTP
from django.core.mail.backends.base import BaseEmailBackend is new to 1.2. Also after switching to 1.2 I get the following error: ImproperlyConfigured: Error importing middleware askbot.middleware.view_log: "No module named coffin.template" Any ideas?

That snippet requires Django 1.2 or did you mean it should work fine as long as I switch to django 1.2?

I am setting up an askbot instance and would like to know if its possible to set up askbot with either Django 1.2.x or use an email backend other than SMTP?

I did follow instructions this is what is in my python path: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/askbot-0.6.17-py2.4.egg /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django_robots-0.8.0-py2.4.egg /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django_threaded_multihost-1.4_0-py2.4.egg /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django_keyedcache-1.4_1-py2.4.egg /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Django-1.1.2-py2.4.egg But I cannot import

I did that, but now the problem is that the installation of askbot through the github version added it to the site-packages and added it to python path, but python still can't import it. Do you have any ideas what might cause this? I am a bit new to hardcare Python.

I am trying from the github version, now I am getting the following error:

I can't use postgresql, but I can try the version in github, I was previously using the stable release. python 2.6 might not be an option either since I have limited access to the machine.

I am trying to install askbot, but when I run the command python manage.py syncdb, I get the following error.
