Error Importing Settings

eligundry opened this issue · 1 comments

When I try to start the application, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "manage.py", line 11, in <module>
        import settings
    File "/home/eli/Code/remesh/settings.py", line 127, in <module>
        from local_settings import *
ImportError: No module named local_settings

I guess my question is this: how do we set up environment specific settings? Your blog post didn't really get into that aspect.

Sorry - I'll add more instructions to the README tomorrow. The issue is the settings.py file is setup with a import to local_setting.py in the very bottom. That way, you can add anything to your local_settings.py file and override what is in settings. It is a nice hack to separate dev, staging, and production-level settings.
