django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting LOGGING_CONFIG, but settings are not configured

Question

I\'m trying to run a populate script which I put together from the tango_with_django tutorial (https://github.com/leifos/tango_with_django/blob/master/tango_with_django_project/

Answer 1

Call to django.setup() should go after setting DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable. Just move it into your __main__ right after os.environ.setdefault().

Answer 2

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'epl.settings')

should be above

import django

which is you should call django_settings_module before importing and calling django setup.

Hope this is helpful.

Answer 3

For development and debugging, you may use the standalone python package.

Install with pip

pip install standalone

Use standalone to use Django from the module.

# add the following to the top of the module.
import standalone
standalone.run('mysite.settings') # replace with your settings module.

# your code goes below the configuration
import os
import sys

# ... .. .  whole module

Now you may run the module as a Python Django script.

Answer 4

You can insert os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings") before the django.setup() line.

Answer 5

If you are getting a similar error after initiating your interaction with Django by running python in a terminal, running python manage.py shell in the appropriate directory may solve your issue.

Answer 6

I met the same problem when setting the environment.

(I tried to add the:

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

into the "Starting script window",which is in the Django Console or rewrite the .wsgi file, But all of them were failed)

My final solution: (open the terminal and set the environment manually)

Here are the steps:(for mac)

1. open the terminal and type vim ~/.bash_profile

2. add below lines:

    PATH=${PATH}:/Users/work/workspace/[virtual_environment]/bin
    PYTHONPATH=${PATH}:/Users/work/PycharmProjects/[project_name]
    DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=[project_name].settings
   

3. type :wq to save and exit terminal

4. type source ~/.bash_profile to reload it

it will work when you run python manage.py shell this time.
