getting raise KeyError(key) KeyError: 'SECRET_KEY' with django on production settings

Question

I\'ve 2 separate settings files for production and development and a common base.py settings file
base.py

SECRET_KEY = r\"!@#$%^&12345         


        

Answer 1

I think you are trying this locally, and don't have the SECRET_KEY setup in your environment.

Set it using

export SECRET_KEY="somesecretvalue"

and then running python manage.py shell --settings=entri.settings.prod should work fine.
