Question

I have created a new project using DJANGO but when I run manage.py runserver, it points to the settings of my old project.

Specific Details are given below

C:\Documents and Settings\jaia\Desktop\Learn Django\MyLibrary>python manage.py runserver
Validating models...

0 errors found

Django version 1.4.2, using settings 'FirstBlog.settings'

Development server is running at ttp://127.0.0.1:8000/

Quit the server with CTRL-BREAK.

Explanation

I want runserver to use MyLibrary.settings (New Project) but instead it uses FirstBlog.settings (Old Project).

Can you please instruct me how to changes the settings.

Answer 1

Just set the environment varible:

set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=MyLibrary.settings
python manage.py runserver

Or append --settings like:

python manage.py runserver --settings=MyLibrary.settings

The details – Django docs.
