Since Colin's thread was locked and re-directed, I'm using the same title to respond to his comment regarding my_project.settings. When we reached the same point with the same problem, I examined some of the stack trace. As Colin is doing, I am installing arches on a new machine, not upgrading a machine with an older version.
It appears that giving your project a name other than arches results in some invalid settings in some of the py files. For example, settings.py loads the arches library, but immediately makes calls to modules in the projectname library, which doesn't exist: import os import arches import inspect try: from arches.settings import * except ImportError: pass APP_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(inspect.getfile(inspect.currentframe()))) STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(APP_ROOT, 'media'),) + STATICFILES_DIRS DATATYPE_LOCATIONS.append('hpla.datatypes') FUNCTION_LOCATIONS.append('hpla.functions') Similarly, wsgi.py, which is the file that generated the error Colin mentioned, fails on the following line: os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = "hpla.settings" I experimented with changing hpla to arches in wsgi.py and got further, but I'm about to scrap everything and re-install the project as arches. I could go through all of the files in the stack trace and replace all 'hpla.' occurrences with 'arches.', but I think it will be easier for long-term maintenance to just go with arches. So long as I can call the production product what I want, I should be fine. -- -- To post, send email to archesproject@googlegroups.com.
