ImportError: No module named myapp.settings

Question

I created a Django app locally, and I would like to host it on PythonAnywhere.com. I've followed the directions at https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/VirtualEnvForNewerDjango and created a virtualenv with 1.9 installed. However, when I try to run my app, I get the error ImportError: No module named myapp.settings

Here is my username_pythonanywhere_com_wsgi.py

import os
import sys

# add your project directory to the sys.path
project_home = u'/home/rhpt'
if project_home not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(project_home)

# set environment variable to tell django where your settings.py is
os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'myapp.settings'

# serve django via WSGI
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

I also tried myapp.my_app.settings without success.

Answer 1

if your settings.py file is in /home/rhpt/myapp/my_app/settings.py

then this part

# add your project directory to the sys.path 
project_home = u'/home/rhpt'

needs to be

# add your project directory to the sys.path 
project_home = u'/home/rhpt/myapp'

and also keep this

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'my_app.settings'

Answer 2

Maybe if you put an empty

__init__.py

in the same folder as the settings.py it worked for me
