Question

I set ANONYMOUS_USER_ID in “/projectname/projectname/settings.py”

ANONYMOUS_USER_ID=-1

But it guardian.conf.settings raise ImproperlyConfigured when I use syncdb.

raise ImproperlyConfigured(“In order to use django-guardian’s ”
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: In order to use django-guardian’s ObjectPermissionBackend authorization backend you have to configure ANONYMOUS_USER_ID at your settings module

I also post this question on google group

Answer 1

1. reload server
2. check possible typo for ANONYMOUS_USER_ID
3. ensure the settings file is actually used and ANONYMOUS_USER_ID is the output of inside ./manage.py diffsettings
