My settings.py file is correct My Django version is 1.1.1 on Ubuntu LTS 10.04 in EC2

the ``manage.py`` script can be executed? what gives you ``ls -l manage.py``? — gipi, Feb 09 '13 at 09:40

Check manage.py has execute permission. If not give it by

# chmod +x manage.py

it worked for me.thanks but how do I check manage.py has execute permission before and after doing chmod +x manage.py . I found no change in manage.py file – madhu131313 Feb 09 '13 at 09:43
the permissions are filesystem stuff, you can check using ``ls -l manage.py`` and looking for an ``x``. For more information look at ``man chmod``. – gipi Feb 09 '13 at 09:45

List permissions:

ls -l

If it has x permission on the first 3 characters "--x":

./manage.py syncdb

Also, you are able to execute it using python just with read permission "r--":

python manage.py syncdb
