I am trying to set up Pycharm3.0 to be able to debug the django project.. I cannot get it to work. Any help is greatly appreciated..! ：-）

I checked the django support is there: enter image description here

I then configured the Run/debug configuration settings as following:

enter image description here

. sitee is the project folder.

When I hit the debug button, I got error:

/usr/bin/python2.7 manage.py runserver /home/tee/Downloads/pycharm-3.0.2/helpers/pydev/pydevd.py --multiproc --client 127.0.0.1 --port 40239 --file /home/tee/PycharmProjects/sitee/account/views.py Usage: manage.py runserver [options] [optional port number, or ipaddr:port]

Starts a lightweight Web server for development and also serves static files.

manage.py: error: no such option: --multiproc

Process finished with exit code 2

What OS are you using? That looks way different from my PyCharm setup dialog. – Rob L
The command should look more like this: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python /Applications/PyCharm.app/helpers/pydev/pydevd.py --multiproc --client 127.0.0.1 --port 58654 --file /Users/<username>/PycharmProjects/<project_name>/manage.py runserver 8000 – Rob L
Leave interpreter options and working directory blank. You may need to add your settings.py to environment variables, but PyCharm usually sets all that stuff automatically. – Rob L
@RobL I am using linux ubuntu. – user3108063
So it looks to me like the manage.py runserver 8000 command is being called first, rather than last. Perhaps you could try entering it in the PyCharm terminal? Not a fix, but it may give some clues. – Rob L

It looks as if you are trying to debug using the 'Python' Run/Debug configuration rather than the 'Django server'. Check your left hand column, the one that lists your Run/Debug configs and the defaults that PyCharm provides. Do you see "Django server"?

If so, clone that one and use it. You hardly need to specify any parameters, it does a lot with the defaults straight out of the box.

I was doing the same thing with PyCharm 2019.I had no trouble. I set the script path to my manage.py file added runserver as the parameter and set the working directory to my source drive.
