Re: your question about installation on mac osx... I gave up after being discouraged by confusing information about 32 bit vs 64 bit python and MySQL. I may try again now that alwaysdata works. Presumably I won't have enough disk space to really run the forum on there for very long.

installation on alwaysdata has succeeded. I hope the fixes above will be helpful for others.

I see now that I must actually enter python manage.py migrate askbot not "forum"... this is an error in the instructions.

installation on alwaysdata is going a bit better, now have encountered a new issue: after python manage.py syncdb, it runs a bit, then asks whether to create a superuser. I respond no, it continues. Then python manage.py migrate forum fails, raising "App with label %s could not be found" % ...

Also, now that you have fixed that script, does this fix also apply to the usual installation? I was getting the same problems with debug_toolbar when I attempted installation on my own computer. Marco

I wiped out all the directories which are installed before. But now the script goes over memory and we get settings.py being 0 bytes as well as manage.py and init.py. Also in the installation instructions you should remove the obsolete instructions concerning old version of Django.

The install is now running into several obstacles and doesn't work as is. First of all it renames the tar file "master" and then halts installation before creating the django_site directory. Second, more annoying, is that setup.py tries to fetch the django toolbar program dependency at a website that is down, so that setup.py also halts -- this is a problem I have even in installing it on my own system.

I am looking forward to one day using askbot but as it is now, none of the installation instructions actually work.

EDIT: the alwaysdata installation instructions now work.
