Don’t run django-admin.py for anything other than the initial project creation. For everything after that, use manage.py, which takes care of the finding the settings.
No, this is not currently possible. According to the docs, the following syntax is supported: [‘www.example.com’] # Fully qualified domain [‘.example.com’] # Subdomain wildcard, matches example.com and www.example.com [‘*’] # Matches anything If you look at the implementation of the validate_host method, you can see that using ‘*’ by itself is allowed, but using * … Read more
It seemed you’ve made it the correct way: import setting object and check. And you can try to use: if hasattr(settings, ‘ANOTHER_VARIABLE’): instead of: if settings.is_defined(‘ANOTHER_VARIABLE’): I found the documentation, hope this might help.
The simplest solution is to use the getattr(settings, ‘MY_SETTING’, ‘my_default’) trick that you mention youself. It can become a bit tedious to have to do this in multiple places, though. Extra recommendation: use a per-app prefix like MYAPP_MY_SETTING. There is a django app, however, that gets rid of the getattr and that handles the prefix … Read more

In your settings.py, there is a list called ALLOWED_HOSTS. You need to add the IP address you see in the error to that list: ALLOWED_HOSTS = [‘XX.XX.XX.XX’] Note: only add the IP address, and not the port (e.g., 127.0.0.1 and not 127.0.0.1:8000) Explanation: Django checks the Host header of the HTTP request for a url/ip … Read more
A simpler approach relies on redirection from the page LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL. The key thing to realize is that the user information is automatically included in the request. Suppose: LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = ‘/profiles/home’ and you have configured a urlpattern: (r’^profiles/home’, home), Then, all you need to write for the view home() is: from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect from django.urls … Read more
The problem reported can be because you skipped registering the models for the admin site. This can be done, creating an admin.py file under your app, and there registering the models with: from django.contrib import admin from .models import MyModel admin.site.register(MyModel)
