#8703: Development server fails to load settings
---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
Reporter: benspaulding | Owner: nobody
Status: new | Milestone:
Component: django-admin.py runserver | Version: SVN
Keywords: | Stage: Unreviewed
Has_patch: 0 |
---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
Using {{{django-admin.py runserver}}} fails to load the settings if:
1. the settings module is three or more levels deep, and
2. you rely on {{{DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE}}}
=== Examples ===
I don’t know how to patch the problem, but this is the testing I did to
see what all was affected.
==== Failures ====
Directory structure:
{{{
django
/
~/sites
\
mysite---foo---settings.py
}}}
Command line:
{{{
$ cd ~/sites
$ PYTHONPATH=pwd
$ DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.foo.settings
$ django-admin.py runserver
Error: Could not import settings 'foo.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Does
it have syntax errors?): No module named foo.settings
}}}
Directory structure:
{{{
django
/
~/sites
\
mysite---foo---bar---settings.py
}}}
Command line:
{{{
$ DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.foo.bar.settings
$ django-admin.py runserver
Error: Could not import settings 'bar.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Does
it have syntax errors?): No module named bar.settings
}}}
==== Success ====
I found no failure with {{{manage.py}}}. {{{django-admin.py}}} succeeded
as long as the settings module was not nested more than two deep or was
set explicity with the {{{--settings}}} option.
Directory structure:
{{{
