apologies. That is a mistake in the manual, please try:

python manage.py migrate askbot

I've successfully run startforum and the database sync. Now, when trying to run the migrate forum command, I get the following

C:\saskbot3>python manage.py migrate forum

If you have script startforum but still see that error that means askbot module does not appear to be in your PYTHONPATH. You can start python in command line and type:

import sys
print '\n'.join(sys.path)

That will print out whatever is in your in the Python system path.

otherwise, all that script does - copy files from directory askbot/setup_templates into your django project directory. You need all of the contents of that directory and establish the following structure:

project_dir/  #<--- some very distinctive name
        __init__.py  #empty but required for python to recognize site as python module
        urls.py      #url map
        manage.py    #management script - this one is actually 1:1 django default
        settings.py  #where most important settings live
        log/         #directory for site logger
        askbot/upfiles/   #directory to hold uploaded files.

edit: directories log/ and askbot/upfiles must be writable by the webserver.

You probably already have the "project_dir" and askbot since you've downloaded from the repository, or took tar file?

So you can do it manually too, bypassing the startforum script.

Also - I will push the fresh update in a bit - I recommend to take it - there is a bugfix for runtime settings interface.

I installed according to the second set of instructions (not using easy install). I also installed mysql and the python mysql adapter. I get the following error:
