ImportError: Could not import settings 'mysite.settings'
Hello, I'm trying to get my django project going on mod_python (this all on on windows XP) However when I try to get my project going I get ImportError: Could not import settings 'mysite.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named mysite.settings But I have this in my conf: SetHandler python-program PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings PythonOption django.root /mysite PythonDebug On PythonPath "['C:/Program Files/Apache2.2/htdocs/mysite'] + sys.path" What could be the cause of this, there is definetly a settings file? >From reading other posts i got the impression this could be a permissions issue but I didn't know how to change permissions on windows and I wasn't sure that was the cause? Could someone help me please? Regards, Andrew --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

ImportError: Could not import settings 'mysite.settings'
Following instructions at http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-django-on-fedora9-apache2-mod_python and http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/howto/deployment/modpython/ I cannot get past the error: ImportError: Could not import settings 'mysite.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Does it have syntax errors?): No module named mysite.settings I have check the python path, I even printed our sys.path from "/usr/ lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/conf/__init__.py, it looks like: ['/home/mycode', '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django', '/usr/ lib64/python26.zip', '/usr/lib64/python2.6', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/ plat-linux2', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/lib- old', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site- packages', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib64/ python2.6/site-packages/gst-0.10', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/ gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/webkit-1.0', '/usr/lib/ python2.6/site-packages'] I have also chown and chmod the /home/mycode directory. It is readable by all. My system is Fedora 12, apache 2.2.14, djanjo 1.1.1, python 2.6.2 I added to python.conf, the following: SetHandler python-program PythonPath "['/home/mycode', '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ django'] + sys.path" PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mysite.settings PythonDebug On PythonOption djanjo.root /mycode Any thoughts ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Given what you have, Python will be looking for: C:/Program Files/Apache2.2/htdocs/mysite/mysite/settings.py Then, when that is not found, everyplace else in sys.path + mysite/settings.py If you are going to be including 'mysite' in your imports (and settings spec), then don't include it in the PythonPath. Or, drop if from your imports (and settings spec). (Or, include both the mysite directory and its parent directory in your PythonPath, then you can mix inclusion of 'mysite' in your imports with leaving it out willy-nilly, but that is rather messy. Better to pick one alternative and stick with it.) Also, I'll repeat something I posted in another thread earlier today: BTW your earlier spec for the PythonPath directive you are using showed you are putting your project code under the default Apache document root htdocs -- that is a bad idea as it may make your source code (including sensitive stuff like database password in settings.py) easily accessible from the web, depending on exactly how you have Apache configured. Your Django project source code does not need to be under Apache's document root, it simply needs to be found via the PythonPath you specify in your Apache Location block for your Django project.

If this is active on your system then chown/chmod may not be doing what you expect. I only know enough about selinux to tell you that much; how to configure it to enable Apache to access /home directories is beyond me. But I do recall others on this list have run into this type of problem when setting up machines that use selinux.

Re: ImportError: Could not import settings 'mysite.settings'
Thanks Karen for the tip on SELinux. After researching, I found i needed to do: setsebool -P httpd_enable_homedirs 1 chcon -R -t httpd_user_content_t /home/mysite On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 8:15 PM, Karen Tracey wrote: > > Fedora 12 has the security-enhanced linux kernel.
