I had a small proof of concept set up on a development server on a local machine. I'm now trying to move it over to django on a production server, which I'm using webfaction for. However, now that I'm switched over to apache from the built in django server I get the following:
ViewDoesNotExist: Could not import orgDisplay.views. Error was: No module named orgDisplay.views
But when check my orgDisplay apps folder there is a view.py in it. What am I doing wrong? I've tried adding the following to my settings.py by suggestion of the django IRC room.
import sys
sys.path.append(r"/home/user/webapps/django_project/myproject/orgDisplay")
开发者_运维百科
which is the path to my app.
any ideas on how to even begin to trouble shoot this?
Thanks in advance.
I assume you're using mod_wsgi
(which is recommended by Django authors), not mod_python
. This is the way you should use your sys.path:
django.wsgi:
import os, sys
sys.path.append(r"/home/user/webapps/django_project/myproject/")
os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "settings"
sys.stdout = sys.stderr # Prevent crashes upon print
import django.core.handlers.wsgi
application = django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler()
urls.py:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
urlpatterns = (
("", include("orgDisplay.urls")),
# ...
)
orgDisplay/urls.py:
import views
urlpatterns = (
(r'^some_view/$', views.some_view), # It is actually orgDisplay.views.some_view
# many more records ...
)
It is a bad idea to add project dir itself to path since you're be getting name conflicts between multiple projects.
I think you're appending the wrong directory to sys.path
. I think Python is looking in the .../myproject/orgDisplay
folder for the orgDisplay
package. Try removing the orgDisplay
from your string, like this:
import sys
sys.path.append(r"/home/user/webapps/django_project/myproject")
The other option would be to simply add myproject
(or whatever your project is actually called) in the import statement.
# instead of "from orgDisplay import views"
from myproject.orgDisplay import views
Also, make sure to restart Apache after every edit.
looking at manage.py, it does it like so:
import sys
from os.path import abspath, dirname, join
from django.core.management import setup_environ
# setup the environment before we start accessing things in the settings.
setup_environ(settings_mod)
sys.path.insert(0, join(PINAX_ROOT, "apps"))
sys.path.insert(0, join(PROJECT_ROOT, "apps"))
Provided your WSGI file is in your project directory, a slightly more flexible way is this:
import os, sys
sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(__file__))
This will enable you to change your project location later without having to modify your WSGI file.
