Django versi         


        

Answer 1

You should not change MIDDLEWARE to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES. What happens here is more likely that you created the app with django 1.10 and now you are running it with 1.9 or a previous version.

Make sure you use a specific version of django(and all other libraries) so your project doesn't break when deploying or running on different machines.

If you have a stable codebase simply run:

pip freeze > requirements.txt

And then when deploying or setting up a new env just do:

pip install -r requirements.txt

You should always consider using fixed versions of your libraries(and hopefully virtual envs), and when upgrading dependencies test each version change.
