In the tutorial 4, when executing python manage.py migrate, the error msg "The SECRET_KEY setting must not be empty" is thrown out.

When users need to change the setting to local in the settings directory, users also need to
change the manage.py file. The default one is:

  • os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "PROJECT_NAME.settings")

    But real path is

  • os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "PROJECT_NAME.settings.local")

Otherwise, the settings won't be found.

The settings.py file is not moved until chapter 4, in which the environ setup is also addressed (see above comment). Closing as invalid.
