Ready to throw the keyboard using Django 1.7 on Windows 7

[Todd Kovalsky]

Having a miserable time trying to get a django site running on a wintel box.

The issue comes after I add models to models.py.

I keep getting the error Could not import settings 'myapp.settings'...No module named myapp.settings.

Very irritating trying to get a site up and working on a windows machine vs osx

any help is greatly appreciated

How is your project folder structure?

If you open a normal python shell from the same directory as your manage.py and execute "import myapp.settings" what does it say?

Is this under manage.py or behind a wsgi front end like Apache/mod_wsgi or ngnx?

If under manage.py, you need to cd to the directory containing manage.py first.  (There are ways around this if absolutely necessary.)  If behind a wsgi front end, there are other means for insuring that this directory is on sys.path.

The directory holding manage.py must also hold a sub-directory named myapp.  The myapp directory must, in torn, contain both a settings.py file and a __init__.py file (the latter can be an empty file).

Let us know if this doesn't get you going.

Your DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE has a full path. Try changing it to a
relative 'myapp.settings'
