Can't start the Django webserver - manage.py runserver 8998

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I followed the installation instructions on the front page.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Couple errors:

1) django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: 'sql_server.pyodbc' isn't
an available database backend. Available options are: 'dummy', 'mysql',
'oracle', 'postgresql', 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'sqlite3'

2) Error was: No module named signals

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I am using the latest available SVN checkout from the Source tab (r171)

* Python 2.4 on a 64 bit RHEL5 box
* Latest stable Django - Django-1.0.2-final

Please provide any additional information below.

I installed unixODBC (2.2.14) and freetds (0.82) and have verified that I
can connect to the database without any issues. Finally, I am connecting to
a Sybase ASE DB, but I don't think the process gets far enough for the
problem to be related to Sybase vs MSSQL. 

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

This seems to be incompatibility issue.

I think you can try to get svn
http://django-pyodbc.googlecode.com/svn/branches/django-1.0.x/ instead of the 
latest
release. Otherwise you can try the django trunk.

Regards,
Magus
