Problem with Django-1.3 beta

Question

Guys!! I'm really enthusiastic in learning django and learnt a bit on Django-1.2 but then I installed 1.3 version which is ok till I run the server using the command "python manage.py runserver". It's giving a huge error. I can't figure out a way to solve this. And error is given as :

Traceback (most recent call last):

    execute_manager(settings)

Answer 1

To avoid problems like that in the future, use virtualenv

Answer 2

This can happen if you have two versions installed. Delete django (/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django) Just delete the whole folder. Now reinstall Django 1.3 and it should work.
