Apache mod-wsgi django problem

Question

I got this error messages while I am trying to deploy my django app under mod-wsgi in Apache.

[Thu Jun 30 23:03:35 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] mod_wsgi (pid=4152): Exception     occurred processing WSGI script 'C:/DjangoProjects/tryserver/Apache/django.wsgi'.

[Thu Jun 30 23:03:35 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] TypeError: relative imports require the 'package' argument

This is my django.wsgi and it is in proper location.

import os
import sys

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = '../tryserver/tryserver.settings'

import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

What could be the problem ?

Thanks

Your Problem is:

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = '../tryserver/tryserver.settings'

DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE needs to be an importable python module that contains your settings. Django is basically going to do import ../tryserver/tryserver.settings with your current django.wsgi

The best fix to get what you are trying to do is to add the tryserver directory to the python path. Assuming your directory layout looks something like:

./
    tryserver/
        tryserver/
            settings.py
    deploy/
        django.wsgi

Then in your django.wsgi you could do something like:

import os
import sys

sys.path = sys.path + ["/PATH/TO/tryserver/"] # The first one

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'tryserver.settings'

import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()

Thanks for your answer you are right but when I write only tryserver.settings or full path it gives ImportError: Could not import settings 'tryserver.settings' (Is it on sys.path?): No module named tryserver.settings . How can I correct this ?

They want to add 'C:/DjangoProjects' to sys.path. At the moment they are possibly only adding 'C:/DjangoProjects/tryserver'. That or don't have 'tryserver.' in DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE and leave it at 'settings'. Easier to use long form and add both directories to sys.path.
