    Hi Kofi, my best guess is that you have some settings missing from
    base.py or dev.py, such as your database password. Please check over
    these files and let us know if that fixes the issue.

    Hi Kofi, did you get the same result when using both the automated install and the above tutorial? The first thing to check is that in dev.py you have all three of the database parameters entered correctly, e.g:

    ```
    'NAME': 'booktype-db',
    'USER': 'booktype-user',
    'PASSWORD': 'booktype-password',
    ```
    If you still have no luck, let us know!

    Yea I paid very close attention this time. same result. I also went online to pay some webdevelopers to do it and all failed. Here are some of the responses I got:

    "Unable to import unipath module"
    "Booktype, django, python are of different incompatable versions"
    "Missing python modules"
