    <p>I've deployed Django to Apache via <code>mod_wsgi</code>. Django is running fine when hosted from Apache. However, I'm trying to do some maintenance via <code>manage.py</code>, but when I try and run it, I get the error:</p> <blockquote> <p>Error: Could not import settings 'myproject.settings' (Is it on sys.path?): No module named settings</p> </blockquote> <pre><code>user@localhost:~$ cd /usr/local/myproject user@localhost:/usr/local/myproject$ ls drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache 4096 2011-09-07 19:38 apache -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 0 2011-05-25 14:52 __init__.py -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 813 2011-09-09 16:56 manage.py drwxr-xr-x 6 apache apache 4096 2011-09-09 16:43 myapp -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 4992 2011-09-07 19:31 settings.py drwxr-xr-x 4 apache apache 4096 2011-09-08 20:32 templates -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 1210 2011-09-08 14:49 urls.py </code></pre> <p>Django seems to be ignoring the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable.</p> <pre><code>user@localhost:~$ cd /usr/local/myproject user@localhost:/usr/local/myproject$ export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings user@localhost:/usr/local/myproject$ python manage.py shell Error: Could not import settings 'myproject.settings' (Is it on sys.path?): No module named settings user@localhost:/usr/local/myproject$ python Python 2.6.5 (r265:79063, Apr 16 2010, 13:57:41) [GCC 4.4.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. &gt;&gt;&gt; import settings &gt;&gt;&gt; </code></pre> <p>Just to confirm I wasn't going crazy, I commented out everything inside manage.py except the <code>import settings</code> line, and it ran correctly.</p> <p>I've also tried setting <code>os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'settings'</code> and <code>sys.path.append('/usr/local/myproject')</code> directly at the top of manage.py, to no avail.</p> <p>What's going on here? Why is Django using the wrong settings module name? This is driving me crazy.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
