ImportError: Could not import settings. No module named oscar. inslalling django-oscar on djangohosting.ch

Question

Dont know how to get on with this project. Spent many hours looking for the answer.

ImportError: Could not import settings 'myproject.settings' (Is it on sys.path?): No module named oscar

I use djangohosting.ch Want to install django-oscar Im not so familiar with django

Its was my intention to create virtualenv /v/ and get django-oscar up and running in one of my projects. lets call it myproject

I started creating myproject with djangohosting.ch's 1-click installer now its installed in /home/myuser/myproject

I think I got the virtualenv correctly installed in dir /v/ , and I used pip install django-oscar and I think that all vent very well. I see a bunch of directories in the /v/lib/python2.6/site-packages

But I am not sure if I set PYTHONPATH correctly. I configured the /myproject/RUN file to

PYTHONPATH=/home/myuser/v/lib/python2.6/site-packages:/home/myuser/v/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django:/home/myuser/v/lib/python2.6/site-packages/oscar:/home/myuser/myproject:/home/myuser/myproject/myproject:. python manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:62202

I followed the setup of settings.py from this guide

edited /myproject/myproject/settings.py

And I edited the urls.py according to the guide.

I edited the /home/myuser/init/myproject file these lines

PYTHONPATH="$HOME/v/lib"
DAEMON=$HOME/v/bin/python

Havent got a clue what Im doing to be honest. I wish I understand more of all this.

Thank You for helping me

Here is what I get:

I'm not sure what djangohosting.ch looks like but if you have a wsgi setup it should look something like this:

apache2/conf/httpd.conf This file has more but usually has most of it setup by your host, these areas you may have to adjust

WSGIDaemonProcess cpm processes=5 python-path=/home/myuser/myproject/:/home/myuser/myproject/myproject:/home/myuser/v/lib/python2.6/ threads=1

WSGIScriptAlias / /home/myuser/myproject/wsgi.py

wsgi.py

import os
import sys
from django.core.handlers.wsgi import WSGIHandler

sys.stdout = sys.stderr

from site import addsitedir
addsitedir('/home/myuser/v/lib/python2.6/site-packages')

from os.path import abspath, dirname, join
from django.conf import settings

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'myproject.settings'
application = WSGIHandler()

If this isn't your setup I would at least try changing your python path to what I have in the httpd.conf file
