ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'macelleria_progetto.settings'

Using Django Deployment
1

I’m trying to deploy a django on Linux server (AWS Lightsail Bitnami ) .

I’ve loaded the data and set the conf file in apache (using mod-wsgi).
But don’t work.
In the server_error (logs) the error is:

How I can resolve this ? I have to edit ‘wsgi.py’ file ?

‘macelleria_progetto’ IS THE NAME OF PROJECT, NOT AN APP !

p.s: here my v-vhost file in apache :

<IfDefine !IS_macelleria_sito1_LOADED>

Define IS_macelleria_sito1_LOADED

This is the key line from the traceback - for whatever reason, it’s not finding your settings.py file.

Is your settings.py file in /opt/bitnami/projects/macelleria_sito1/macelleria_progetto/ ?
If not, what directory is it located in? (According to the error message, that’s the directory where it’s expecting to find it.)

Hi @KenWhitesell

I’m having the similar issue with lightsail bitnami installation for some reason it’s recognizing the packages. settings.py file is located at /opt/bitnami/projects/WEBSITE/WEBSITE/settings.py and I’m using the the “System Packages Approach A”.

However in my case it is able to recoganize the settings.py file but not the installed packages. Seems to be a problem with apache’s virtual server and it is looking into the some directory where they are not. Also, I did not activated or created any sort of virtual server so far to install packages. As the docs didn’t mentioned any specific like activating anything apart from editing the apache conf files. [Deploy a Django project].

Moreover, just for some more context about the system running sudo pip did solves the problem but probably become a problem later on.

Also, I tried to follow up with this issue: [airflow] module not found · Issue #2305 · bitnami/charts · GitHub which is the only search result I got apart from this thread.

Please clarify what you mean here.

Are you saying you are no longer having this problem? If you aren’t, why do you think this would become a problem later on?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, kind of. I mean when I installed the packages with sudo privileges “sudo pip install ******”, it worked fine. However, pip also warned it’s not a good practice to install them with sudo as it may create some conflicts. That’s why I mentioned it.

The issue here is that the operating system relies upon Python for its own internal functions.

If you update global packages using pip, you can cause problems with conflicts with the packaged versions of those libraries (if any).

So you have two basic choices. You can either look for an os-packaged version of that particular library, or you could change your configuration to use a virtualenvironment and install all the packages your need there.

Thanks @KenWhitesell for the help. I’d probably moved to custom installation instead of using bitnami. For some reason I always find it complicated to use bitnami installs, even though they are meant ease everything.

Ciao rob,
Il prolema è dovuto a come hai configurato il WSGIDeamonProcess,
su python-home devi mettere la path del tuo progetto django,
su python-path invece inserisci la path del tuo venv.
Tu le hai messe invertite, sistema e prova :slight_smile:
