If I had to guess, you're missing the settings.py file in the root of your Django project. That should have been created by the 'django-admin.py startproject' command.

Hi,

The most likely explanation is that your settings file has the wrong name or location. It should be "settings.py", and it should be in the "archive" directory.

"archive" should not normally be in INSTALLED_APPS, unless you really know what you are doing, which you probably don't (yet). By default Django has a "project" subdirectory and "apps" directories; settings.py in in the "project" subdirectory and the "apps" directories are apps that are specified in INSTALLED_APPS.

Regards,

Antonis
