Hello,

I had some spelling errors early on that really where a pain to overcome, but now I am pretty certain that I have corrected all of the fat fingers. My django page loads with the bottom error being:

Settings cannot be imported, because environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined

I have looked around and this article talked about adding a loadmodule directive in your apache config. Any ideas? I am running jeos ubuntu 8.04 but followed the rest of you steps.

Not yet but I have used MySQL on previous Ubuntu VMs and it runs fine (at least for development purposes) altough I have a Quad Core PC. I do tend to use sqlite3 DBs for development as they are quick and easy to setup. If you do set up a VM, be sure to let me know how you get on.

Nice.
Have you tryed to use mysql or postgres on this virtual machine? does they work faster/slowly then on Windows natively?
(I often use Windows for development on Django – and one of the bad things – testing django application (python mange.py test) takes more time on windows than on Linux (about 10 times slower))
