Question

I've just downloaded Django for a school project and our teacher wants us to do the tutorials on their website. I'm following through tutorial 1 and when I call syncdb it creates the admin database. It asks me if I want to create a superuser and I type yes, but it just keeps asking me over and over if I want to. I've reinstalled Django 3 times now and it doesn't make any sense. Im guessing it might have to do with character encoding or something but I haven't been able to find a solution as this problem doesn't seem to come up anywhere on Google.

As you can see, I'm clearing typing yes correctly.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Try using:

python manage.py syncdb --noinput

that will just skip the create superuser step of syncdb. If you end up needing a superuser later on, you can use:

python manage.py createsuperuser
