Remember that cron runs in its own (very cut-down) environment. So when you say "DJANGO_MODULE_SETTINGS are properly configured", where are they configured? The best thing to do is to set it specifically at the start of the script - or, if you're using a custom manage.py command, pass it as the --settings argument. -- DR. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
