The first argument here is the global defaults dictionary. Normally,
Django will take your settings file and merge it with
django.conf.global_settings, however, if you are using manual
configuration, you need to make sure that every single default setting
is given a value. This is documented in the manual configuration
section, although we may need to put it in big red flashing lights,
because it gets overlooked.
Manual configuration isn't really designed to make it trivial to specify
your normal settings file and some overrides like you are trying to do
here. One way to do this, though, is to read through your settings file
yourself and put all the options into a dictionary (say settings_dict),
then call
settings.configure(**dict(settings_dict, DEBUG=True))
Alternatively, create a file that combines your settings with
global_settings and then use that as the replacement global (the first
positional arg in the settings.configure() call).
