In Django project how to create app in subapp in apps folder.

[Salima Begum]

Hi all,

We initially developed our project with the following folder structure;

[image: old_folder_structure.PNG]

As shown in the above image we have developed and integrated everything
into a few files. Since the functionality is growing we are planning to
separate each functional module as an individual app folder structure
within the old app folder. I am thinking of creating an apps folder and
within the apps folder I want to create individual apps folder( just like
what is seen in the above image). So the new folder structure is created as
shown in the image below.

When I have run migrations after creating I am getting an error.
```
AttributeError: module 'oldapp.apps' has no attribute 'categories'
```

```
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: ' oldapp .apps' does not
contain a class 'categories'. Choices are: ' OldappConfig'.
```

I think you should add __init__.py file inside your apps folder for Django
to see it
