manage.py syncd: error: unrecognised arguments --all

[hybrid1969]

trying a fresh build of W-spsace as I havent used it for a year and using RTD for install instructions and stuck at - ./manage.py syncdb --all --noinput

Any guide to what i need to change to complete the install as I'm not a python guy and not sure where to start. should I adjust the settings.py as I noticed the database entry is wrong for my build?

Just use ./manage.py syncdb --noinput

Sorry I forgot to say I had already tried that and got this and I honestly dont even know where to start looking. Im sure ive done something dumb because when i setup the previous version i was pretty simple -

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: settings.DATABASES is improperly configured. Please supply the ENGINE value. Check settings documentation for more details.

Make sure you have the database settings correct in your local_settings.py, then try again.

checked everything, even started with a completely fresh server instance.

everything is fine until that point, i can even access the MySql server with the same password thats in the local_settings.py

Any other clues as to the cause

A clean install of evewspace doesn't set line 25 in local_setting.py to whatever database engine you're using.

From the error message you posted above, you haven't set an engine value, ie: django.db.backends.mysql, django.db.backends.postgresql, etc.

ok now i feel dumb....I didn't even notice that line was wrong for some reason..

That fixed it, thanks guys.
