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

I had DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE set to "mealer.settings"

(django-env)ali@a-N750JV:~/snap/projects-on-django/Rester$ export -p | grep DJANGO

declare -x DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="mealer.settings"

which I removed by

ali@ali-N750JV:~/snap/projects-on-django/Rester$ export -n  DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE

(django-env)ali@ali-N750JV:~/snap/projects-on-django/Rester$ export -p | grep DJAN

(django-env)ali@ali-N750JV:

export -p | grep DJAN found nothing as you see
