ImportError: No module named mysite.settings (Django)

Question

I have installed Django and mod_wsgi-express on an ubuntu 15.10. Basically (notice I did not do this as root):

pip install Django
pip instal         


        

Answer 1

Also, if you are using Visual Studio, check that your app properties for Django match the settings module that you are expecting. By default, it is set to $(MSBuildProjectName).settings, which was a problem for me since my project name and app name were not the same.

You can find this setting by right clicking on your app in the Solution Explorer and clicking on "Properties" and then the Django tab on the left.
