Question

Hello
i have spend 2 days on this error. couldnt figure it out.

an 21 00:19:50 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] ImportError: Could not import settings 'mysite.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named settings

django.wsgi located in /user/local/django/apache

import os, sys
sys.path.append('/usr/local/django')
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'

import django.core.handlers.wsgi

application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

my django project named mysite: located in /user/local/django/mysite/scr/ (here contains settings.py init.py and etc…)

apache conf

Alias /media/ /usr/local/django/media
<Directory /usr/local/django/media>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/local/django/apache/>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>



WSGIScriptAlias / /usr/local/django/apache/django.wsgi

i have changed the mysite folder above with permission 777 to avoid any permission issues.
and i restart httpd service everytime.

apache starts up and find django.wsig. but it can not find the setting file specifed in it.

and i add the path to $PATH manually and echo it. it is there. and i restart httpd. then the path i added is gone…

anyone knows what is going on?

thanks

Original answer was me mistakenly thinking your sys.path was incorrect.

New theory is that you say your settings.py lives in .../django/mysite/scr/, so specifying mysite.settings wouldn’t be valid.

Technically, assuming mysite has an __init__.py file, the path to your settings file is mysite.scr.settings
