I am trying to run statsd/graphite which uses django 1.6.

While accessing graphite URL, I get django module error

File \"/opt/graphite/webapp/grap

Answer 1

If for some reason you don't want to downgrade to Django 1.5.x or upgrade Graphite then you can apply the fix to your older Graphite with:

find ./ -type f -exec sed -i -e 's/from\ django\.conf\.urls\.defaults\ import\ \*/from\ django\.conf\.urls\ import\ \*/g' {} \;

..in your /webapp/graphite dir.

This helped me with my Graphite 0.9.12 and Django 1.7(.5).

(I also had to do:

find ./ -type f -exec sed -i -e 's/mimetype\=/content_type\=/g' {} \;
find ./ -type f -exec sed -i -e 's/content_type\=mimetype/content_type\=content_type/g' {} \;

..later on as after I managed to start Graphite some of its features didn't work. Now they work for me but YMMV.)
