You should go and talk about this in the django lists, you clearly need
very basic help.

Also, that message indicates you need a newer MySQL-python package, not
mysql. Have you considered starting with a very basic tutorial on django
and python first ? Getting some of the concepts right, early on, will
help make sure you go a lot further.

Hi;
I'm trying to install django and got this error:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: MySQLdb-1.2.1p2 or newer is required; you have 1.2.1

So then I tried yum upgrade mysql and got this:



No Packages marked for Update

Please advise.
TIA,
Susan

Hi,

you can use package MySQL-python from CentOS Testing repo - there is newer version (1.2.2) which works ok. I'm using it without any problems

To identify what package contains a specific file, you can use yum search.

For example:

yum search MySQLdb

returns

MySQL-python.x86_64 : An interface to MySQL

therefore MySQLdb can be updated by updating MySQL-python.

Hi;
Upon trying to run django, I get this error:

ImproperlyConfigured: MySQLdb-1.2.1p2 or newer is required; you have 1.2.1

If I run yum update mysql I don't upgrade (expected). What do?
TIA,
Jack

Why are you trying to update mysql when the error says 'MySQLdb'?
Check also the version... mysql is 5.x; not 1.x.
# yum whatprovides */MySQLdb
...
MySQL-python-1.2.1... on CentOS 5
MySQL-python-1.2.3... on CentOS 6.

How did you install django?
There are django packages from repoforge and elrepo...
