You are getting the 404 because you haven’t defined a url pattern for http://127.0.0.1:8000/ yet.

To add a url pattern for the homepage, uncomment the following entry in your urls.py, and replace homefood.views.home with the path to the … Read more
I truly love this so much here is your working example! Seriously this is awesome! Start by putting this in your settings.py LOGGING = { ‘version’: 1, ‘disable_existing_loggers’: True, ‘formatters’: { ‘standard’: { ‘format’ : “[%(asctime)s] %(levelname)s [%(name)s:%(lineno)s] %(message)s”, ‘datefmt’ : “%d/%b/%Y %H:%M:%S” }, }, ‘handlers’: { ‘null’: { ‘level’:’DEBUG’, ‘class’:’django.utils.log.NullHandler’, }, ‘logfile’: { ‘level’:’DEBUG’, … Read more

Don’t run django-admin.py for anything other than the initial project creation. For everything after that, use manage.py, which takes care of the finding the settings.
I wanted to add a new answer because, as a beginner, the previous accepted answer didn’t make a lot of sense to me (it was only one part of the puzzle). So here’s how I store my keys both LOCALLY and in PRODUCTION (Heroku, and others). Note: You really only have to do this if … Read more
This is expected behavior. Django does not serve static files or media files in production. You should configure nginx, etc. to serve files.

(I prefer to use pip over easy_install for no reason.) $ easy_install psycopg2 $ pip install psycopg2 … Read more

I figured that the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE had to be set some way, so I looked at the documentation (link updated) and found: export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settings Though that is not enough if you are running a server on heroku, you need to specify it there, too. Like this: heroku config:set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settings –account <your account name> In my specific … Read more
