I´m starting to use Django with Pycharm IDE and have succesfully configured my first project.
However, I tried to add a new existing project to Pycharm and when trying to change the Run Configuration to use the manage.py of my secondProject(GuatepediaLocal), I don´t get an option to select it on the dropdown menu. When I try to run the project, it keeps running the PollSite manage.py runserver and not GuatepediaLocal´s manage.py runserver
Can anyone help me to solve this issue and configure an already existing Django Project on pycharm?
Open myproject as your project and then go to PyCharm -> Preferences... -> Django, Enable Django Support and then choose your Django project root, settings file and manage script. Save this answer.
Step 1: Open Your PyCharm and Click on Create New Project. Step 2: Select Your Directory and then give a name to your project and then Click on Create. Step 3 : Then Check if Django is installed or not in your Computer. If it is Already installed then you will see the Django version installed in Your Computer.
After some research I found that on the settings window of Pycharm I must add Django support to my project
That enabled the project on the dropdown menu. After that, I just added on the enviroment variables the correct path to my project´s settings.py.
Hope this helps someone someday :)
Open edit configuration wizard.
Menu > Run > Edit Configuration
