Evgeny, do you still need testdata? I can provide you with some if still needed

Thanks a lot, that together with zaf's comment did the trick. I must have screwed over my environment last night, but a new dir AND the correct setting did wonders. Thanks for the awesome support.

Thanks a lot for the quick answer, I've updated moved the project into a subdir. It worked now (not sure if it was your or Evgeny's comment that made it work)

Hey there,

just tried to install askbot in a virtualenv environment on Ubuntu. I followed the documentation over in the docs and got to the point to do a ./bin/python manage.py syncdb after setting the db and everything. This brought up the following error message:

root@host:/srv/answers/askbot# ./bin/python manage.py syncdb
Traceback (most recent call last):

Short notice on my paths: I've got a virtualenv in /srv/answers/aksbot with askbot installed in /srv/answers/askbot as well. Hence, I run the command in the correct virtualenv, but looking at the bath, it seems like it's using the system django config in /usr/local/lib, which it shouldn't. Do I need to do anything else to get this to work?
