[ome-users] Trouble initializing the Django database

[C Neves]

Hey Ameir,

In the settings.py file, where it reads

DATABASE_NAME = 'C:\omero_dist\lib\pythonlib\omeroweb\db.sqlite3'   # Or 
path to database file if using sqlite3.

it should read

DATABASE_NAME = 'C:\omero_dist\lib\python\omeroweb\db.sqlite3'   # Or 
path to database file if using sqlite3.

This appears to be a typo in the instructions, and should now be fixed. 
Thanks for spotting it!

Regards,

Carlos
