Error occured while reading WSGI handler. ModuleNotFoundError' while hosting DJango on IIS. Can't find settings

I am doing this for the first time. I am trying to host my Django rest app on Windows IIS server. I have followed this tutorial https://medium.com/@Jonny_Waffles/deploy-django-on-iis-def658beae92 but I am getting the following error. Does it have to do something with my conda environment? I haven't used any config file. I've set the environment variables in the system variables instead.

In my settings.py

WSGI_APPLICATION = 'webapi.wsgi.application'

IN wsgi.py

import os

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
    os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'webapi.settings')

    application = get_wsgi_application()

Error occurred while reading WSGI handler:

For me the problem that lead to this same error message was that in the settings of my FastCGI handler the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE was wrong.

it has to be a module path, i.e. MyProject.settings instead of C:\inetpub\wwwroot\MyProject\MyProject\settings.py as I assume was in your case.

so for you: DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE = webapi.settings
