Could you post the contents of your WSGI file, and the exact error message that you're getting?

By calling chdir(path) in your wsgi file, you are implicitly adding path to the sys.path and that means that Django finds 2 ways to import your each of your Django apps and it cannot decide which one you want. Remove the chdir and that should fix the error.

Hi Glenn, On your advice I removed the chdir, and based on the error log I allowed the pythonanywhere hosting in settings.py and all is working now. Thank you so much for that!

How can I configure this app with an AppConfig subclass with a 'path' class attribute?

This Django documentation page covers how to create AppConfig sunclasses and then you just need to add path as an attribute to your subclass.
