You need to install Django into the virtualenv that you're using for your web app.

I installed django but the error still exists which says :

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dal'

If it's the same one as the stacktrace above, then it looks like you're trying to use a Django app that you do not have in your Django installation. Either you're trying to load an app that should be in your project directory and isn't or you're trying to use a module that you have not installed.

Staff glenn | 9718 posts | PythonAnywhere staff | Sept. 16, 2018, 1:24 p.m. | permalink

I have already installed the module that is related to 'dal'

Bash :

(zg500.pythonanywhere.com) 13:46 ~/zg500.pythonanywhere.com (master)$ pip install django-autocomplete-light
Looking in links: /usr/share/pip-wheels
Requirement already satisfied: django-autocomplete-light in /home/zg500/.virtualenvs/zg500.pythonanywhere.com/lib/python3.6/site-packages (3.3.1)

Are you sure you're looking at the right error message? When I look at the logs for your site, the most recent error (the one right at the bottom of the file) is related to not being able to find your settings module. See this help page on how to debug that specific kind of problem.

Yes , you are right . I was looking at the previouse error messages . that problem is solved now but i dont know why the appearence of my site is ruined ? all my bootstrap and styles and css codes are gone ? here is my base codes which are not loaded :

{% load static %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" >
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/bootstrap.css' %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/bootstrap-rtl.css' %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/jquery-ui.css' %}">

and in my settings :

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')

the static folder which contains font and css and.. is in this path:

home/zg500/zg500.pythonanywhere.com/BallbearingSite/static

You'll need to set up a static file mapping for your site in order to get that to work; here's the help page.

Thank you, my website is good now but why the admin section is still disordered ?

deleted-user-4501161 | 24 posts | Sept. 26, 2018, 6:24 p.m. | permalink

There is a guide to fix css admin on web :

The "proper" way to do it is to make sure you've got django.contrib.admin loaded in your INSTALLED_APPS, and then run collectstatic. There's a full guide to django static files here

i have alredy done all what it said but still there is no css in admin page

deleted-user-4501161 | 24 posts | Sept. 27, 2018, 7 a.m. | permalink

Could you give an example of a URL showing the problem? When I visit the login page for the admin for your site, I can see CSS.

In the guidence it showed two ways to solve the problem :

 There are two ways to fix this.

The ugly/hacky way is to add a specific static files mapping pointing at the django admin css folder:

url: /static/admin
path: /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/ (or the path to the same    folder inside your virtualenv, if you're using one)

But that's an ugly hack, and you'll soon run into problems with the rest of your CSS not loading.

The "proper" way to do it is to make sure you've got django.contrib.admin loaded in your INSTALLED_APPS, and    then run collectstatic. There's a full guide to django static files here

I was trying the proper way which it said, and it was not successfull , then i tried the ugly/hacky way and it is ok now thank you again
