ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'projectName' - wsgi Django Deployment

I am trying to run my Django Project using Apache.

When I launch Apache I receive an 'Internal Server Error', inspecting the logs I have found that it fails to execute the wsgi.py for my project and throws the errors below.

The error presented says there is No module named 'localassets', i.e. the projectname.

Inspecting the wsgi.py file I don't see any issues here either.

import os

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'localassets.settings')

application = get_wsgi_application()

It seems as though I am missing something in wsgi.py but I am unsure as to what I am missing for this to work correctly?

Solution

  • just add the apps folder to sys.path in wsgi.py:

    import os
import sys

sys.path.insert(0, 'C:/Env/localassets')

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'localassets.settings')

application = get_wsgi_application()

    btw. you seem to have the virtual env folder mixed with your app. I would recommend to separate like

    project_folder
   env
   localassets
      localassets
         wsgi.py

etc.
