tried to use the django-admin runserver command and expected it to work, because its a finished project that i made with the assistance of my old teacher, but for whatever reason when i try to run it now 2 months later and after moving it to another computer via an external disk it doesnt work, any help?
also “python manage.py runserver” doesnt work eighter, it just gives me this:
<code>PS F:filenaemdjangler> python manage.py runserver
C:UsersuserAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython312python.exe: can't open file 'F:\filenaem\djangler\manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
</code>
<code>PS F:filenaemdjangler> python manage.py runserver
C:UsersuserAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython312python.exe: can't open file 'F:\filenaem\djangler\manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

When ‘moving’ Django projects, take care because each project has its list of installed packages which is available on the requirements.txt. Those packages are usually contained in a virtual environment if one is used.
I’m guessing you haven’t activated your virtual environment. If you don’t have access to the virtual environment, you may want to create a new one and install the packages in your requirements.txt by running pip install -r requirements.txt. If you can use your virtual environment, you can activate it using yourvirtualenvironmentnameScriptsactivate.
