Copied django project to shared host from repo - can't import settings

[Lee]

Hello,

I setup Django successfully on my shared Bluehost account following the tutorial below: http://www.nyayapati.com/srao/2012/08/setup-python-2-7-and-django-1-4-on-bluehost/

I am now having problems with a Django project I have copied from a GitHub repo to my Bluehost directory. I am getting this error when I run python mysite.fcgi in my virtualenv

go-1.5.1-py2.7.egg/django/conf/__init__.py", line 134, in __init__
    raise ImportError("Could not import settings '%s' (Is it on sys.path?): %s" % (self.SETTINGS_MODULE, e))
ImportError: Could not import settings 'mysite.settings' (Is it on sys.path?): No module named settings

Any thoughts on where to look for errors? I have checked .htaccess and the mysite.fcgi file in my www directory, the pointer to settings in my manage.py and these seem as they should be. Running python manage.py runserver on the project says there are no errors.

Hi, maybe show the content mysite.fcgi and .htaccess, the error say not exist your project mysite

maybe the path is not good in mysite.fcgi!

Cheers

For mysite.fcgi I have: 

#!/home5/myorg/.virtualenvs/mydjango/bin/python

import sys, os

# Add a custom Python path.

sys.path.insert(0, "/home5/myorg/.virtualenvs/mydjango")

sys.path.insert(13, "/home5/myorg/django_projects/mysite")

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'

from django.core.servers.fastcgi import runfastcgi

runfastcgi(method="threaded", daemonize="false")

and for .htaccess I have - 

AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ mysite.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]

Thanks,

Lee

ok i make different configuration

#!/home5/myorg/.virtualenvs/mydjango/bin/python

import sys, os

# Add a custom Python path.

sys.path.insert(0, "/home/<user_name>/projects/")

sys.path.insert(0, "/home/<user_name>/projects/yourproyect")

from flup.server.fcgi import WSGIServer

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = '<project_name>.settings'

from django.core.handlers.wsgi import WSGIHandler

WSGIServer(WSGIHandler()).run()

This worked, thank you! I don't understand why it worked, but pleased that it did.
