django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting DATABASES, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment va
riable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

All I am doing is running python manage.py syncdb or python manage.py migrate I am trying to update the website the models created a new model an am trying to migrate the info website works but I can not do syncdb in the console

When you create your project with django-admin startproject a manage.py will be generated that has a line like:

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "my_project.settings")

where my_project is your project name. This points to your settings file. Make sure the line exists and point to the right settings module.

Also use manage.py instead of django-admin to manage an existing project.
