Could not import settings

[Bradley]

I move an existing website running django onto a shared webhost via
FastCGI.

No matter what I do, I get the following error:

ImportError: Could not import settings 'seymourherald.settings' (Is it
on sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named
seymourherald.settings

my DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is set to wwwroot.settings and yet I still
get the above error. I'm pretty new to django, is there any other
place where it would be looking for seymourherald.settings

Django located here:
~/djtrunk/

My website here:
~/seymourherald.com/wwwroot
~/seymourherald.com/wwwroot/settings.py

DocumentRoot:
~/public_html/seymourherald
~/public_html/seymourherald/.htaccess
~/public_html/seymourherald/cgi-bin
~/public_html/seymourherald/cgi-bin/wwwroot.fcgi

What you say you have DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE set to:

wwwroot.settings

does not match what the error message says it is set to:

seymourherald.settings
 
Which one is right?

Django located here:
~/djtrunk/

My website here:
~/seymourherald.com/wwwroot
~/seymourherald.com/wwwroot/settings.py

From this, assuming ~/seymourherald.com/ is on your PYTHONPATH, and the process executing the code has permission to read that directory tree, then a setting of DJANGO_SETTING_MODULE=wwwroot.settings should work.  However that is not the setting that the code that is running is using, based on the error message it is giving.  Somewhere it is getting a value of seymourherald.settings for DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE.
