Instead of posting random screenshots of your IDE, please post the contents of your wsgi file. Are you actually doing anything to put the settings file on the path, to fix the error? – Magnesia

@DanielRoseman i added that file content. – Vange

@Vange Your project path is missing in python sys path, Please refer the below link, https://mcmap.net/q/420471/-importerror-could-not-import-settings – Dewitt

@Vange you can add & check the below lines in your wsgi file at the top, import sys sys.path.append('YOUR_PROJECT_PATH') – Dewitt

@Dewitt I added above line but still error is same. – Vange

@Vange can you post your wsgi file, It should works .. – Dewitt

@Dewitt I added it to my question . yes of course ,when I type 'python manage.py runserver' every thing working find. but i want create host and deploy this project in key.com url. still not reslove my trouble. – Vange

@uma, I think this will work .. Add the virtualenv path same as project path in wsgi file ... Also restart the apache and check again ... – Dewitt

@Dewitt no sir still , when i type key.com in browser give 500 error. error log content same thing. Exception occurred processing WSGI script . i also , do it another my project. it also give same out put. – Vange

@uma, Sorry i forgot to add these commands, You can try like below, import os,sys sys.path.insert(0, 'VIRTUAL_ENV_PATH') sys.path.insert(1, 'PROJECT_PATH') – Dewitt

@Dewitt sir where should i put this code. It is above on wsgi.py file. ? – Vange

@uma, Yes mam, try and check. Please let me know if works or not ? – Dewitt

Let us continue this discussion in chat. – Vange

Answer 1

finally I could successfully deploy my project.I enabled Apache this module early.

I think this will be help to other Django developers.Thank you all developers those who help me.

Answer 2

As I said in the comments, you're not doing anything to add your project to the PYTHONPATH so that the WSGI app can actually find it.

It seems from your directory structure that you're using a virtualenv; you need to activate that either within the .wsgi file or in the Apache configuration itself. The Django docs recommend the latter.

Magnesia

please , tell me what i should change. I add **wsgipython path" like this #23679567 Question. but still same out put. – Vange

Answer 3

In your wsgi.py try changing

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")

to

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "settings")

Since both files are in the same directory/module.

Did you do sudo service apache2 restart? This has to be the issue, since you moved your wsgi.py file you need to alter the variable, otherwise Django will not be able to find your settings file - as indicated by the exception No module named mysite.settings. Post your settings file too, if possible. – Shari
