I am wondering if line #5 (import astrometry.net.appsecrets.django as djsecrets) in settings_common.py is ok to remove? There is no django file in the appsecrets directory. Also, the instructions don't call for creating it either. Maybe an error in the instructions or an error in the file.

Sorry, that's an error in the documentation. I just added an example appsecrets directory with example file contents.

No worries. Thank you for responding. I ended up doing exactly that. Relieved I "kind of" know how things are working.
