Error while configuring Google App Engine on Pydev in Eclipse - eclipse

Question

i am trying to configure Google App Engine on Eclipse and use it to run a python application locally (on the local host):
for this i used following tutorial as a guide:
http://www.mkyong.com/google-app-engine/google-app-engine-python-hello-world-example-using-eclipse/
i followed the steps properly but when i try to use the configuration i get errors the console output is:
Console Output:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\api\search\search.py:232: UserWarning: DocumentOperationResult._code is deprecated. Use OperationResult._code instead.

raise AppConfigNotFoundError
google.appengine.tools.dev_appserver.AppConfigNotFoundError
The configuration i am using is:
Windows 7 64 bit
python 2.7
Eclipse Helios
What could be the possible mistake in configuring the GAE?
Additional info : when i try to use the project with GAE manually(ie by using the launcher) it works
Update:
i experimented and discovered that since the workstation and the python installation folder is not in the same directory i get these errors
got the hint from here:
File
"C:\Program Files(x86)\Google\google_appengine\google\appengine\tools\dev_appserver.py"
line 582, in main
root_path, {}, default_partition=default_partition)
but when i made another workspace in the same partition i got this as console output and the the local host is still not working
output

seems like the arguments to dev_appserver.py are incorrect any ideas

Answer 1

If you did the same mistake as mine,then its a very high chance that you have space in the name of your directory

Answer 2

The warnings about deprecated things in search can be ignored. As can the message about the rdbms API if you don't plan on using that.
AppConfigNotFoundError happens when there is no app.yaml in the directory passed to dev_appserver.py. If you followed those instructions, then your app.yaml would be in the 'src' directory, and the 'program arguments' in the build command would be ${project_loc}/src - is this the case? When you run from the command-line, and see it work, what command are you running, and from what location?
