4567	(Ubuntu Feisty) Server won't start	john.m.chilton@…	Adrian Holovaty	"I am using Ubuntu 7.04, Feisty. I used Synaptic to install the official, newest release of django for Ubuntu, which is 0.95.1 even though 0.96 is out. I ran ""django-admin.py startproject webpoll"" which completed succesfully, and then I moved into the new directory. Running ""python manage.py runserver"" resulted in the following traceback:


john@devbox:~/webpoll$ python manage.py runserver
Traceback (most recent call last):

""django-admin.py runserver"" also failed, but gave a different traceback:
