It’s hard to tell from the image you posted what your directory structure is supposed to be.

See the thread at crash after installation of bootstrap3 for a discussion of what the general layout of your directories should be.

What is your base (or project) directory?

Do you have the same named directory inside it?

Do you have a different directory for your app?

snaquz1 · February 17, 2024, 5:11pm

i just dont know why error with import error and name of my project, i tried solve it by finding same names but nothing

KenWhitesell · February 17, 2024, 5:14pm

Because it looks like your directory structure is wrong.

You need to start out my making sure you have the right directories in the right places, and that the appropriate files are in the right directories.

snaquz1 · February 17, 2024, 6:00pm

how can i do this? maybe i can reinstall django?

snaquz1 · February 17, 2024, 6:07pm

I really need to solve this problem, I have been working on this project for a very long time, if you try to help me I will be very grateful. What can i do?

KenWhitesell · February 17, 2024, 7:50pm

Start by answering the three questions I asked in my first reply.

Then read the thread I linked to.

Then explain to me how your project is organized by directories and how it is organized matches up with the structure described in that other thread.

Also, please understand that we are all volunteers here, answering questions as time, energy and knowledge allows. A response to any individual post or request may take days to be answered.

snaquz1 · February 17, 2024, 8:37pm

Sorry for my haste, I really appreciate your work and the fact that you help other people for nothing. I looked at the thread you linked to and tried to make a similar structure to the one that was presented:

error did not disappear, even though I did not touch the bootstrap. Thanks again for your patience. I will be glad if you answer

KenWhitesell · February 17, 2024, 11:25pm

You still haven’t described what your intent is for your directory structure here.

I’m going to assume for the moment that you are intending for djangoProject to be your “outer” directory.

That directory should have your manage.py and db.sqlite3 files, along with your djangoProject78 and man directories.

I’m then going to assume that you’re intending for your djangoProject78 directory to be the “inner” directory. It should have your settings.py, asgi.py and wsgi.py files as described in my other post. Your man app directory should not be in djangoProject78.

snaquz1 · February 18, 2024, 12:27am

Thank you very much, you really helped me a lot. I did everything exactly as you described and after that the project finally worked. You literally saved me, it means a lot to me. I wish you all the best, you are truly a good person. I’ll leave a screenshot just in case someone has the same problem, thanks again. Goodbye

Welcome @nivatony !

You have posted this on a topic that has been marked as solved.

This is a different issue with a different error. I suggest you open a new topic with this complete error message and the contents of your settings.py file, but do not include the directory listing unless asked.

Also Note: When posting code, templates, or error messages here, enclose the text between lines of three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then your code, then another line of ```. This forces the forum software to keep your code properly formatted.
