# Solución de problemas

Esta página contiene algunos consejos sobre los errores y problemas que se encuentran comúnmente durante el desarrollo de las aplicaciones de Django.

## Problemas ejecutando django-admin

### «comando no encontrado: django-admin»

[django-admin](/es/1.9/ref/django-admin/) should be on your system path if you
installed Django via `python setup.py`. If it’s not on your path, you can
find it in `site-packages/django/bin`, where `site-packages` is a directory
within your Python installation. Consider symlinking to [django-admin](/es/1.9/ref/django-admin/) from some place on your path, such as
`/usr/local/bin`.

If `django-admin` doesn’t work but `django-admin.py` does, you’re probably
using a version of Django that doesn’t match the version of this documentation.
`django-admin` is new in Django 1.7.

### Permisos Mac OS X

If you’re using Mac OS X, you may see the message «permission denied» when
you try to run `django-admin`. This is because, on Unix-based systems like
OS X, a file must be marked as «executable» before it can be run as a program.
To do this, open Terminal.app and navigate (using the `cd` command) to the
directory where [django-admin](/es/1.9/ref/django-admin/) is installed, then
run the command `sudo chmod +x django-admin`.

### Estoy obteniendo «UnicodeDecodeError». ¿Qué estoy haciendo mal?

This class of errors happen when a bytestring containing non-ASCII sequences is
transformed into a Unicode string and the specified encoding is incorrect. The
output generally looks like this:

```
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x?? in position ?:
ordinal not in range(128)
```

The resolution mostly depends on the context, however here are two common
pitfalls producing this error:

- Your system locale may be a default ASCII locale, like the «C» locale on
  UNIX-like systems (can be checked by the `locale` command). If it’s the
  case, please refer to your system documentation to learn how you can change
  this to a UTF-8 locale.
- You created raw bytestrings, which is easy to do on Python 2:

  ```
  my_string = 'café'
  ```

  Either use the `u''` prefix or even better, add the
  `from __future__ import unicode_literals` line at the top of your file
  so that your code will be compatible with Python 3.2 which doesn’t support
  the `u''` prefix.
