DJango - why is the server not starting?

Question

Django

I decided to start learning django, installed it, created a new project (via django-admin.py), when I try to start the server (manage.py runserver --noreload), it crashes with the error:
Validating models...
0 errors found
April 14, 2014 - 01:01:08
Django version 1.6.2, using settings 'testproject.settings'
Starting development server at 127.0.0.1:8000
Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xcf in position 0: invalid continuation byte
PS tried to run via the console (windows 7) and via aptana, the path to the project without Russian letters (D:\workspace_aptana\testproject), the encoding in the aptana settings is utf-8
As I understand it, the error occurs when trying to parse an argument passed to a script.

Answer 1

Apparently, in your Windows settings, the computer name contains Russian letters ( does the name begin with the letter P?)
Try the following:
1. Change the computer name according to the instructions so that it does not contain Russian letters.
2. If it doesn't help, then open the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file and add the line there:
127.0.0.1 localhostBut note that you can edit the "hosts" file only as an administrator.
