Question

I am just a beginner in django . I tried to create sub-domain by following this link. When I run my project it shows the following error

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: WSGI application 'netfacer.wsgi.application' could not be loaded; Error importing module.

my settings.py

also the documentation in the above link is confusing me

Answer 1

Typically you have to set WSGI_APPLICATION variable in your settings module, according to codenetfacer.wsgi.application, package that contain wsgi.py is named netfacer. There may be next issues:

1. There is not package with name netfacer - check if you have renamed settings package
2. netfacer package is located in your <project_root> directory, check if <project_root> directory is part of PYTHONPATH environment variable

Answer 2

Add to your settings.py
MIDDLEWARE=[
'whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware',
]
wsgi.py
import os

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application

os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'your-project-Name.settings')

application = get_wsgi_application()

Ensure your wsgi.py does not fall short of the above configuration

check and Remove

from whitenoise.django import DjangoWhiteNoise
application = DjangoWhiteNoise(application)
