But you're talking about making it a 'copy' of settings.py - it shouldn't be a copy, it should *be* settings.py. And you mentioned using the 'absolute path' in os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE']. This refers to a *Python* path, not a file system path. So if you've set it to the value 'myproject.settings', Python will look for the file 'settings.py' in the 'myproject' directory in one of the directories on your Pythonpath. Assuming your Django code lives under /home2/timatlee/djcode/mysite, you must then have a myproject directory underneath mysite, which contains your settings.py. If your settings.py is actually in the 'mysite' folder, then set the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE to simply 'settings'. Also, make sure all your directories have __init__.py files in them. -- DR. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
