[postgis-users] banging my head on setting up and running geodjango

[Smaran Harihar]

Hi,

I am really fed up in setting up and running GeoDjango.

The first step was to setup the Spatial Database in PostGIS which I was
really banging my head when it came to OS X. So i shifted to Ubuntu 11.10
and it seemed it was quite easy. Now having completed the post installation
process<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/install/#creating-a-spatial-database-template-for-postgis>,
I created the required changes that need to be done in the settings.py and
now i am trying to,

python manage.py sqlall world

but it is returning a bunch of errors.

(django-env)smaranh at ubuntu:~/geodjango$ python manage.py sqlall world
