I tried deploying the dotcloud sample diango app from a windows 8.1 pc, following the instructions on the dotcloud web site to the letter.
All went well up to the point of running:
dcapp myapp run "python manage.py syncdb"
which gave me:
a file not found error [Windows error 2 The system cannot find the file specified]. No name was given for the missing file (maybe file name blank?)
The final message before the error was:
File "subprocess.pyo" line 957 in _execute_child.
I can access the app from my browser, although it fails with a table not found error because the syncdb failed to run. I had also successfully deployed the sample flask app earlier form the same pc using the same command line tools and it went OK, although it's a very simple app with no database accesses.
I assume others trying to do the same thing would have had the identical problem, although I can't find any references to it. Is there a work-around for the problem, such as logging in directly to the dotcloud instance and running the syncdb there? As far as I can see, the webapp console doesn't allow this sort of thing. An SSH session maybe?
