[FIXED] AttributeError: module 'django.conf.global_settings' has no attribute 'ROOT_URLCONF' no solutions found worked

Issue

I know this is a known issue, but no solutions on other threads have helped me. No matter what I do, I get this error in Azure Stream logs, everything works fine when I run the project locally.

my wsgi.py file:

import os

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application


os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'mojspecjalista.settings')

application = get_wsgi_application()

My project url file:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include


urlpatterns = [
    path('', include('App.api.urls')),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]

manage.py:

def main():
    """Run administrative tasks."""
    os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'mojspecjalista.settings')
    try:
        from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
    except ImportError as exc:
        raise ImportError(
            "Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and "
            "available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you "
            "forget to activate a virtual environment?"
        ) from exc
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

and lastly my settings:

ROOT_URLCONF = 'mojspecjalista.urls'

Solution

Ensure your wsgi.py file correctly sets the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE to 'mojspecjalista.settings', and ensure your project structure is consistent. Double-check that all necessary files and configurations are deployed and restart the server if needed. Make sure your packages are up to date.

ROOT_URLCONF is correctly referred to according to your project structure.

I tried your code with minor changes, and I successfully deployed the Python Django app to Azure App Service.

manage .py

import os
import sys

def main():
    os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'mydjango.settings')
    try:
        from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
    except ImportError as exc:
        raise ImportError(
            "Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and "
            "available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you "
            "forget to activate a virtual environment?"
        ) from exc
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

This is my mydjango/urls.py:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('', include('myapp.urls')),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),

Local Output :

I deployed the code to the Azure App Service using the VS Code Azure Extension.

The deployment to Azure App Service was successful.
