I am setting up a new django project and I'm getting the dreaded 'Could not import settings' error. I've set up many django projects before, and never had this problem. The differences with this one is that it's using python3.4, django 1.7, and it's on a VM (all my others were on <1.7, python 2 and a physical host). I've googled this and it's asked a lot, but none of the solutions work for me.
This is the error I'm getting: vagrant@vagrant:/vagrant/elex_apis$ python3 manage.py migrate Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 94, in __init__ mod = importlib.import_module(self.SETTINGS_MODULE) File "/usr/lib/python3.4/importlib/__init__.py", line 109, in import_module return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level) File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 2231, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 2214, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 2189, in _find_and_load_unlocked File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 321, in _call_with_frames_removed File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 2231, in _gcd_import File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 2214, in _find_and_load File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 2201, in _find_and_load_unlocked ImportError: No module named '/vagrant/elex_apis/elex_apis/settings' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 10, in <module> execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 385, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 345, in execute settings.INSTALLED_APPS File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 46, in __getattr__ self._setup(name) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 42, in _setup self._wrapped = Settings(settings_module) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 98, in __init__ % (self.SETTINGS_MODULE, e) ImportError: Could not import settings '/vagrant/elex_apis/elex_apis/settings.py' (Is it on sys.path?
