    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot "C:/depot/projects/web/"
    ServerName web
    ServerAlias *.web
    ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.li-error_log"

    SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE web.settings
    PythonPath "['C:/depot/projects/web/'] + sys.path"

  <Location "/media">
    SetHandler None

  <LocationMatch "\.(jpg|gif|png|css|js)$">
    SetHandler None

and i always got an error :

ImportError: Settings cannot be imported, because environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined

Any help will be much appreciated!

Answer 1

What Version of Apache do you have and is the mod_env module enabled?

Answer 2

I am using apache 2.2 , mod_python 3.3 , django 1.0.2. python script running fine on my settings.

How to enable mod_env module?

Thanks

Answer 3

I think the issue is your PythonPath setting.

You want to append the parent directory onto sys.path

PythonPath "['C:/depot/projects/'] + sys.path"

Then when mod_python is looking for the settings.py file it will look in depot/projects/ find the web directory and in there find the settings.py file.
