I started my virtualenv. Then started my server via python manage.py runserver
.
I ended up visiting my django site and getting the following error.
(venv)N$ python manage.py runserver
Validating models...

I have already checked out this Stackoverflow, and I couldn't resolve the problem with any of these answers. Seeing as the venv is set up properly and I don't think getting rid of any of the Middlewares makes sense.
I can provide more information upon request.
Update:
Okay this looks like a problem with my virtualenv.
After I started this virtualenv, I did pip install django
within it, but now if I type that that within it again, I get the following:
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): django in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
This isn't pointing to my virtualenv I think, so I am guessing this is a problem. Why didn't the venv I was in install django? How can I fix this? And not run into the problem next time around?
