Trouble Getting Started

When creating the web application, I chose python 3.4 and no virtualenv.

My wsgi file (/var/www/clown_pythonanywhere_com_wsgi.py) looks like this:

import sys

path = '/home/clown/LatticeAnimals/counting_site/counting_site/'
if path not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(path)

from wsgi import application

Application directory structure is (showing only relevant parts):

/home/clown/LatticeAnimals/counting_site/
/home/clown/LatticeAnimals/counting_site/manage.py
/home/clown/LatticeAnimals/counting_site/counting_site/
/home/clown/LatticeAnimals/counting_site/counting_site/settings.py
/home/clown/LatticeAnimals/counting_site/counting_site/wsgi.py
/home/clown/LatticeAnimals/counting_site/counting_app/

Content of wsgi.py:

"""
WSGI config for counting_site project.
It exposes the WSGI callable as a module-level variable named ``application``.
For more information on this file, see
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/howto/deployment/wsgi/
"""
import os
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "counting_site.settings")
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

I think the problem here is that your path is set to /home/clown/LatticeAnimals/counting_site/counting_site/, and you're saying that the settings module is in counting_site.settings, which means that it will look for it in the file /home/clown/LatticeAnimals/counting_site/counting_site/counting_site/settings.py -- with three counting_sites rather than two.

If you set the system path to /home/clown/LatticeAnimals/counting_site/ and then do

from counting_site.wsgi import application

...then it should work better.

Yes! thank you.

Not being able to set up was very frustrating experience.

I tried to follow the tutorial and the example in the default wsgi file, maybe I did something wrong
