Pythonanywhere - ImportError: No module named 'myapp.settings'

Question

Using Python 3.5 and Django 1.9, I was trying to deploy my app to pythonanywhere, but I keep getting this error

2016-10-07 01:44:28,879 :Error running WSGI application

ImportError: No module named 'trailersapp.settings'

Here is my wsgi.py file

import os

import sys

path = '/home/nidalmer/trailersapp/trailers/settings.py'

if path not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(path)

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

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

application = get_wsgi_application()

and my tree:

trailersapp
├── db.sqlite3
├── manage.py
├── movies
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── __pycache__
│   ├── admin.py
│   ├── apps.py
│   ├── forms.py
│   ├── migrations
│   ├── models.py
│   ├── templates
│   ├── tests.py
│   ├── urls.py
│   └── views.py
├── myvenv
├── requirements.txt
├── static

│   └── movies
└── trailers
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── __pycache__
    ├── settings.py
    ├── urls.py
    └── wsgi.py

I can't tell where the error is coming from since my wsgi file says trailers.settings and not trailersapp.settings and I don't have that anywhere.

Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

The path in your wsgi file is wrong. It's supposed to be the path to your app, so:

path = '/home/nidalmer/trailersapp'

Also, I think you're looking at an old traceback or an old copy of the wsgi file. Make sure they're both up-to-date.
