I follow the tuttorial of djangogirls and I am at the point where I want to setup the web app at pythonanywhere. I give the command: " pa_autoconfigure_django.py --python=3.6 --nuke https://github.com/avraam1616/my-first-blog.git ", copy paste from the tuttorial. I receive the following error message: < Running API sanity checks > \ ~<:>>>>>>>>> Cloning into '/home/avraam57/avraam57.pythonanywhere.com'... remote: Enumerating objects: 42, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (42/42), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (24/24), done. remote: Total 42 (delta 13), reused 42 (delta 13), pack-reused 0 Unpacking objects: 100% (42/42), done.

Any help will be apreciated

Your code has a bug in it:

"/home/avraam57/avraam57.pythonanywhere.com/djangogirls/settings.py", line 125, in <module> STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static') 
NameError: name 'os' is not defined

if you wan to use the os module in your settings, you need to import it.

Where you see this line in the settings.py file:

from pathlib import Path

Just add the following line after:

import os

This resolved the bug for me.

Yes, exactly :-)

thank you so much

thank you. by the way I have another problem I will be gratefull if you could help me:

In the template file: blog/templates/blog/post_list.html, following the instructions of the djangogirls tuttorial I write:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

<head>
    <title>Django Girls blog</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div>
        <h1><a href="/">Django Girls Blog</a></h1>
    </div>

    {% for post in posts %}
<div>
    <p>published: {{ post.published_date }}</p>
    <h2><a href="">{{ post.title }}</a></h2>
    <p>{{ post.text|linebreaksbr }}</p>
</div>
    {% endfor %}

</body>
</html>

but when I run the html file it gives me something that is not correct what I am doing wrong ? please help.

Could you provide more details on what's going wrong? And what do you mean by "running the html file"?

thank you for your willingness to help me. In www.avraam57.pythonanywhere.com it shows the date and time above the title of the post and below it shows the comment of the post. normaly the date and time must be shown under the comment. thanks again

you need to move <p>published: {{ post.published_date }}</p> below <p>{{ post.text|linebreaksbr }}</p>

thanks a lot
