Guy.!

I am deep trouble. My application is no longer able to login and more so, no new user can even register. I am not sure how to revert the Django setting in the project. I am not the one that built the project I inherited it. When I run

python3 manage.py runserver

Performing system checks...

System check identified no issues (0 silenced).

Django version 1.11.7, using settings 'lokdon_project.settings'

Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

****************************************************

Show that server kicks start but my application works not.

My project path is not very clearly inserted in with the wsgi.py.

settings.py could also have a problem in it. I am not too sure off these.

I am in need of help here any assistance will be compensated dearly.

Thanks.

Don't panic.

FIrst: when you are running it in local server mode, the wsgi.py file is of no consequence. Only Settings.py is important. Do you see that? If your main app (where the manage.py is available) is called as xx then the settings.py should be within the sub-directory of this file, also called as xx.

In settings.py, see if there is a statement called

DEBUG=True

if the line does not exist introduce it. If the value is something else, change it to True.

Now when you enter 'localhost:8000' in the browser, you will have some useful info as an error occurs. At that point, also look at the console (from where you ran the server) if there is any additional info.

If the above process does not solve your problem, specify exactly what is happening.

Good luck.

Update to my earlier answer:

Your project is called lokdon_project. Your settings.py should be in a sub-directory (also) called as lokdon_projec below this directory.
