Errors when trying to create new project or create new app in existing project

On my server is Django 1.9, several months ago i updated it from Django 1.8. And everything works fine until i decided to create new app in existing project:

python manage.py startapp test123

Then i got an error:

/test123/tests.py already exists, overlaying a project or app into an existing directory won't replace conflicting files

So I tried to do this on another projects and still the same. Then I tried to create new project and install new app on it, but when i type this command:

django-admin.py startproject anyproject

I got this error: CommandError: /var/www/anyproject/manage.py already exists, overlaying a project or app into an existing directory won't replace conflicting files Then i type this command in the root of existing project:

django-admin runserver

End got error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/django-admin", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 2749, in <module>
    working_set = WorkingSet._build_master()

    raise DistributionNotFound(req)

Then this command:

django-admin.py runserver

Then there was this error:

    % (desc, ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE))
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting DEFAULT_INDEX_TABLESPACE, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.

After that i uninstall all Django using pip, and then install again. But i still have this errors. Can anybody help me with it? Thanks

The command to start a new app is startapp, not startproject. startproject is, well, for starting a completely new project, with a new manage.py etc; obviously if you already have a project, you don't want to overwrite those files.

And to run the server - or do anything once the project has been created - you should always use manage.py (or pass the --settings parameter to django-admin, which is effectively what manage.py does).
