django and mysql setup in production

Question

I'm trying to setup mysql on my production server(Ubuntu 12.04). I followed this tutorial http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2008/07/how-set-django-mysql-ubuntu-hardy/ Then I run python manage.py syncdb It shows this error https://gist.github.com/2777611

Could anyone tell me the problem?

Thanks!

You can either install the python MySQL libraries included in the Ubuntu repositories:

sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

(in which case you don't need to do the pip install MySQL-python)

Or you can install the MySQL development libraries and then try the pip install MySQL-python technique:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

I believe the correct name of the package in Ubuntu 12.04 is python-mysqldb ;) – Elias Dorneles May 23 '12 at 20:56

dgel has already answered but I want to add some few things just so it would be easy for beginners. At first I suggest to setup virtualenv.

Then if you are python 2.7 install

pip install mysql-python

or if you are using python 3.x

pip install mysqlclient
