Django Shell No module named settings

Question

I\'ve deployed Django to Apache via mod_wsgi. Django is running fine when hosted from Apache. However, I\'m trying to do some maintenance via manage.py

Answer 1

It seems the path to your project isn't being recognized by wsgi. This has happened to me, and to solve it I added this to the top of my .wsgi file:

import os
import sys

root_path = os.path.abspath(os.path.split(__file__)[0])
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(root_path, 'project_name'))
sys.path.insert(0, root_path)
