Hi jsachs, Could you reply to the list with a couple copy-pasted outputs to help diagnose the problem? 1) From the window shell, could you run `python manage.py shell` and paste the output? Could you also please run `dir` and paste that output? 2) Could you also trigger that same error the full error you are getting, starting with "Traceback (most recent call last):" and ending where she shell prints out the next line of '>>>' ? 3) After you run that, within the same python shell, can you get the result of the python statement `import os; print os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE']`
