Django ImproperlyConfigured: WSGI application 'myproject.wsgi.application' could not be loaded; Error importing module

Question

I have an almost fresh install of django and when I run python manage.py runserver. It is giving me this error:

ImproperlyConfigured: WSGI application 'myproject.wsgi.application' could not be loaded; Error importing module.

settings.py

WSGI_APPLICATION = 'myproject.wsgi.application'

wsgi.py

import os
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "myproject.settings")
application = get_wsgi_application()

Answer 1

Check the settings.py,

MIDDLEWARE=[
    'whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware',
]

remove 'whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware', or install Whitenoise (pip install whitenoise)

Answer 2

Comment out the

#'django.contrib.auth.middleware.SessionAuthenticationMiddleware',

in your settings.py file in Middleware

Answer 3

From my experience this happens when I try to execute runserver but I haven't installed all custom MIDDLEWARE in setting.py. After identifying and installing the middlewares the error is resolved.
