Django-admin Runserver Error

I set virtualenv for python 2.7 16% source Work/Django/env/bin/activate next create project django-admin startproject myproject create app cd myproject django-admin startapp cont

Solution 1:

If you look at what the manage.py script does (this script was created inside the myproject directory when you ran django-admin startproject myproject), it exports the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and then runs django-admin (well, it does it through django.core but it does pretty much that).

django-admin needs to know the python module of the settings for your project, and that information is present in that environment variable.

---

Therefore, inside the myproject directory, you shall either run:

python manage.py runserver

and the manage.py script will do the environment setup for you, or you can force django-admin to read the settings location from the command line:

django-admin runserver --pythonpath=. --settings="myproject.settings"

The --pythonpath switch is not needed if you included your project directory on the default pyhton path.

Solution 2:

mkdir djangoproject

cd djangoproject/

pip install virtualenv

virtualenv myvenv

pip freeze

which python

source myvenv/bin/activate

pip install django

pip freeze

django-admin startproject myproject

cd myproject/

python manage.py runserver

Your project will be start successfully

django-admin startapp myapp

Now, you need to make some settings related to the application you created. (settings.py & urls.py)
