I followed the manual guide and set up a dev-environment but used a virtualenv for safety reasons. I dont have a full domain yet because I'm in the process of evaluating if Booktype fits all my needs. For some reason I'm unable to log in in my Booktype instance, despite the fact that I created a superuser with ./manage.py createsuperuser.

User does not exist.

Unknown error!

There are errors and I would be glad if you could give me some suggestions to solve my issues. This is how booktype looks like now.
