    Status: Open => Solved

bobemoe confirmed that the question is solved:
Right, figured it out...

As far as I can tell, sys.path is another name for the bash environment variable $PYTHONPATH, which needed to be set with:
export PYTHONPATH=/opt/graphite/webapp:/opt/graphite/lib

I think the installer did some of this, but only for the current user,
but as I installed with sudo all the files were root owned I need to
sudo the manage.py so it had access to the db files, however the root
environment didn't have this variable set...

Initially I sudo su to root and exported the variable and things started
to work, however in the end I chowned all the /opt/graphite to me anyway
as I didnt see a need to run all this as root.

All sorted now, but some good guides wouldn't go a miss!  I also see
some people working on ubuntu packages, that would be great! :)

Cheers for the amazing product,
James.
