I've been running across a few weird errors while setting up a few Django sites on shared hosting, and I wanted to start making a list of solutions to problems that I come across that aren't documented on the forum or wiki.

1) Problem: When you run

manage.py syncdb

this first time creating a superuser fails with

TypeError: decode() argument 1 must be string, not None

.
Solution: run

export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

then create the superuser using

python manage.py createsuperuser --username=YourUsername --email=youremail@yourdomain
