运行 Django 时出错：ModuleNotFoundError：没有名为“pyshop.settings”的模块

Question

I have started learning Django and I am unable to run the server.

Python and PyCharm are freshly installed I have installed Django by command pip install Django . After that when I run the command python manage.py runserver it gives me error:

no such file and directory

so I copied the manage.py file and paste right under the path which was written and when I typed again it shows me this weird long error I have tried every path but it gives me an error of no such file and directory only on one path which gives me a weird long error which is

(venv) C:\Users\Usman Raees\PycharmProjects\pyshop>python manage.py runserver

Answer 1

Since you just started learning. create a new Django project in python (pycharm professional) and start the app again and do not copy manage.py file anywhere. also run the

$ django-admin.py startproject Yourprojectname

before you run the

python manage.py runserver

Answer 2

python manage.py relies of configurations in the settings.py file. Check that you still have settings.py, you might have deleted it my mistake. Thats worked for me
