D:\home>CD d:\home\site\wwwroot
D:\home\site\wwwroot>env\Scripts\python.exe manage.py migrate
- If you noticed errors in d:\home\site\wwwroot\wfastcgi.log such as "Error loading module xxxx" , then uninstall the packages and then reinstall. You can see the packages required in requirements.txt .
First uninstall the package
D:\home\site\wwwroot>env\Scripts\pip uninstall <packagename>
Then install the pacakge
D:\home\site\wwwroot>env\Scripts\pip install <packagename>
You can run d:\home\site\wwwroot\setup.cmd to perform this operation instead of manually uninstalling each python package.
