Django run manage.py generates OS error in OS X Yosemite


I'm having problem with running Django manage.py runserver on my MAC OS X Yosemite.

When I ran it soon after restarting, everything works fine. But after several minutes, the running process will stop, and when I re-rerun manage.py runserver, it will generate this error

OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './manage.py'

Note that I am in the same directory as manage.py does. but for some reasons, it could not find it

here is what I found when I run ls: manage.py requirements.txt mycustomapp

My django version is 1.7.3, OS YOSEMITE, I had all brew updated and upgraded

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks !


Solution

  • I've managed to resolve the issue. Turns out since in this Django version I would need to separate the wsgi file for development and production use. therefore wsgi_prod.py and wsgi.py . This action was not needed in previous versions of Django.
