ImportError: No module named django.conf

[Christina]

Hello!

This is likely a user error, given that I am a complete newbie in all this regard.  I'm a long time tinymux user and comfortable in that environment, and find Evennia fascinating.  That being said, I cannot get it to install.   I set up a hosting account on webfactions, created a new user, and installed Python 2.7, Django 1.6, Twisted 13.2, Pillow, and South 0.8.4. 

When I try to actually start up the database, I receive the following error: 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "runner.py", line 49, in <module>

    from django.conf import settings

ImportError: No module named django.conf

Any suggestions? I've tried numerous version types, but perhaps I am not using the right ones.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi and welcome to Evennia!

The library versions you installed look okay so that should not be the problem. You don't say which OS you use but I assume it's some linux version (I hope you know you don't need to set up a hosting account to test Evennia, it works perfectly fine on your local machine while you develop). The error you get seems to suggest django is not installed correctly; to make sure, go to your evennia/game folder and try:

    python manage.py shell

This uses django to open a python shell with all paths set up. You can then try from django.conf import settings to see if that works from the command line.

If Django is working, your game/settings.py file could possibly have some syntax error but then the error should probably had shown that too. So test the django install first.

Hi guys, I am having the same error.  It is probably related to how I am using web faction and it doesn't allow me to use some of the standard unix or ubuntu commands.  I got past a similar error message involving twisted by installing twisted from a .tar and that seemed to satisfy it, but a similar approach to django didn't work here.

I've tried opening the settings.py file to paste in some changes from settings_default.py but there is no reference to django.conf in settings_default.py so I'm pretty lost on what to do about this.

Also, I've tried the virtualenv approach as well but am getting the same django.conf error.

One more thing :) I am running a search (find -name "django.conf") and getting nothing back.  Do I have the wrong version of django installed or something?

django.conf will not be in the repository as a file, but will be django/conf.py somewhere in your installed library files.

You said you've tried virtualenv. Are you making sure to use:

source <virtualenv>/bin/activate 

...before running:

pip install -r evennia/requirements.txt

? More information on this (and the Windows version of the command) can be found here: http://virtualenv.readthedocs.org/en/latest/virtualenv.html#activate-script
