Django DB Settings ‘Improperly Configured’ Error

by

You can’t just fire up Python and check things, Django doesn’t know what project you want to work on. You have to do one of these things:

  • Use python manage.py shell
  • Use django-admin.py shell --settings=mysite.settings (or whatever settings module you use)
  • Set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable in your OS to mysite.settings

  • (This is removed in Django 1.6) Use setup_environ in the python interpreter:

    from django.core.management import setup_environ
from mysite import settings

setup_environ(settings)

Naturally, the first way is the easiest.
