Ned/Felix,
Ok, I tried your guys solution but it does not seem to be working for
me, so Im wondering where I goofed.
Here is what ive got
My settings.py and settings-custom.py file are here:
config/
settings.py
settings-custom.py
The directory containing config is on the PythonPath, so an import of:
from config.settings-custom import *
... should work correct?
In settings.py I have DEBUG=False and in settings-custom.py I have
DEBUG=True, but Im getting my 500.html page, so that means it is only
respecting the DEBUG setting in settings.py.
Any ideas?
Thanks
