So far, on Ubuntu 14.04:

• Installed Django 1.5 (clears cannot import name python_2_unicode_compatible error)
• sudo vim /opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/settings.py - set the SECRET_KEY to something.

Set a database in local_settings.py.

Error received during sudo python manage.py syncdb:

ImproperlyConfigured: settings.DATABASES is improperly configured. Please supply the ENGINE value. Check settings documentation for more details.

Anyone know of an example of 14.04? I'm running out of time to track all the various dependencies :D

Edit: This might be the ticket - on 14.04, there appears to be an apt package.

I try install on this vagrant - https://github.com/irmantas/symfony2-vagrant and have error

I got the exact same error as the commenter above. Anybody got a solution?
