I am successfully deploying my Django (1.7) on Elastic Beanstalk, but I get 500 when I load it in the browser. In the logs I find this:

I am setting the settings file in my .ebextension mysite.config file like this.
- option_name: DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
value: "mysite.settings"
I have also added this to most files:
import os
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")
Where the problem is how my settings file should look like. I have googled this for a good few hours now, but I can't get it to work... I am not even sure how my settings file should look like. Now it just looks like this:
LOGGING_CONFIG = 'django.utils.log.dictConfig'
I am pretty sure it is the settings file that is the problem. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be so grateful.
So after trying what feels like everything I eventually got the sample Django project to load. I changed this line:
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")
to this line
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'mysite.settings'
in wsgi.py.
Why is it that it works now?
