Using Django
1

i am developing a watch_logfiles.py script to monitor a file in my windows server.i have the script ready and running perfectly in the pycharm.but when i want to install this script as a service it says that it cannot find one of the imports.this import is a app which i created under the same django.app and it looks like this.

from myapp.views import myfunction

cmd error

Is this a Django project? If so, it is not clear how this issue relates to Django.

What is the file path of watch_logfiles.py? Can you share the import statement? We need more information to understand you problem

as you can see below is the project structure.and i have an app called files.which contains a view i would like to access this view from my watch_logfiles.py.

project structure

4

the watch+logfiles.py is in syslog folder as below
watchlog_files.py

That is because syslog is not a registered django app in your project.

How did you get the syslog folder? Did you run ./manage.py startapp syslog? Did you add syslog to INSTALLED_APPS list in your project/settings.py ?

If syslog is a third-party module, django may not recognize it. You need to tell django about it somewhere.

yes i did python manag.py startpp syslog. syslog is a registered app

INSTALLED_APPS = [
‘django.contrib.admin’,
‘django.contrib.auth’,
‘django.contrib.contenttypes’,
‘django.contrib.sessions’,
‘django.contrib.messages’,
‘django.contrib.staticfiles’,
‘mainpage.apps.MainpageConfig’,
‘files.apps.FilesConfig’,
‘userdata.apps.UserdataConfig’,
‘exchangeuserdata.apps.ExchangeuserdataConfig’,
‘citrixuserdata.apps.CitrixuserdataConfig’,
‘syslog.apps.SyslogConfig’,
‘export.apps.ExportConfig’
]

Dont forget to format code with "</>" button. It makes your posts easier to read.

Example:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
‘django.contrib.admin’,
‘django.contrib.auth’,
‘django.contrib.contenttypes’,
‘django.contrib.sessions’,
‘django.contrib.messages’,
‘django.contrib.staticfiles’,
‘mainpage.apps.MainpageConfig’,
‘files.apps.FilesConfig’,
‘userdata.apps.UserdataConfig’,
‘exchangeuserdata.apps.ExchangeuserdataConfig’,
‘citrixuserdata.apps.CitrixuserdataConfig’,
‘syslog.apps.SyslogConfig’,
‘export.apps.ExportConfig’
]

I haven’t seen apps registered this way before except when the apps are external modules. I am talking about the following:

‘mainpage.apps.MainpageConfig’,
‘files.apps.FilesConfig’,
‘userdata.apps.UserdataConfig’,
‘exchangeuserdata.apps.ExchangeuserdataConfig’,
‘citrixuserdata.apps.CitrixuserdataConfig’,
‘syslog.apps.SyslogConfig’,
‘export.apps.ExportConfig’

for a local django app called “files”, registering it will look like this:
I

NSTALLED_APPS = [
‘django.contrib.admin’,
‘django.contrib.auth’,
‘django.contrib.contenttypes’,
‘django.contrib.sessions’,
‘django.contrib.messages’,
‘django.contrib.staticfiles’,
'files',
]

because i have been following this.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'mainpage.apps.MainpageConfig',
    'files.apps.FilesConfig',
    'userdata.apps.UserdataConfig',
    'exchangeuserdata.apps.ExchangeuserdataConfig',
    'citrixuserdata.apps.CitrixuserdataConfig',
    'syslog.apps.SyslogConfig',
    'export.apps.ExportConfig'
]

the problem its works fine within pycharm even though theres an error indication
watchlog import
